    9142 WF a dark green/rust Mini van in 1971. Hole near the back let the exhaust fumes in. £35 private purchase and it helped me to pass my test first time with half a dozen BSM lessons in York to supplement driving with my qualified girlfriend.

    I once bought a second hand car but had to take it back the next day.
    I told the salesman I could only get up to 60 going up a steep hill.
    He said I see nothing wrong with that.
    But I said I lived at 75.

    Renault 5. 950cc.

    Company car. Picked it up at a dealership in Leicester Square. I’d not driven since passing mi test 3 years before. It had very little petrol in it. I didn’t know where the fuel filler cap was, or how to fill it up. Had to drive home via Trafalgar Square and Hyde Park Corner at rush hour. If you can do that and survive you can do owt.
