    My first car; I paid £275 for a 1968 1500cc VW Beetle, MUA174F. My brother-in-law bought it for me in Barnsley, as I was serving with the RN in Plymouth. I got a lift to the M6/M56 junction, being dropped off about midnight and then I hitched 6 lifts (including a Police car) arriving in Barnsley @ 06:00 in a Rolls at my parents home to collect the car. I told my BIL I would like a Beetle or a Moggy Traveller. I must have liked Beetles as I am now on my fifth, a 1973 1600cc, 0 to 60 in 3 weeks!! Driving back the next day to Plymouth was fun as not driven a car since passing my test about 6 months beforehand.

    Old Vauxhall Cavalier. It was green with a red wing. My brother gave me it as he’d got a newer one - I think I saved him scrapping it lol

    G-reg white Seat Ibiza SXi
    Bought it in Chorley in 1994 for £1400 cash.
    Had a few bumps and bruises when I bought it but fantastic value - and perfect for Blackpool where I was living at the time!!

    I'm taking the dog out for a walk in a minute... not a big dog... but he'd have more pulling power than your 850 mini..

    Black mini, with red go faster stripes & checked seats. 1000 cc T reg. It had been imported & the steering wheel moved over, as a result there wasn't much sound proofing, but i always has the cassette player cranked up to 11, so didn't matter. Bought in 1983. I had it about 4 years.

    How many people that answered this on here have used the make/model of their first car as a Security Question for something important?

    Just wondering!
