What was your first car

Ford Fiesta 950 Popular Plus

 

I had a car once that went from 0 - 60 mph in 12 days.....

 

Morris Marina CHE 610K 1972 ,Gear stick used to come off in my hand brakes were optional and A/C was the hole in the floor

 

My mate and I were the only late teens that liked old cars... he had a 22 year old 1954 Riley 4/44, and I bought a 1959 Austin Healey Frogeye Sprite that had been off the road for a couple of years.. we towed it home and my wizard of an old man had it running in 2 hrs. I sold it to a guy from Derby in 1979 and it's still on the Austin Healey Register taking part in historic racing. With the money I bought an off the road 1969 Lotus Elan S4, I still own it today.

 

Mini 850 on an R reg. bloody loved that car

 

Me too. Mine was a 1974 M reg Mini 850. Bought it in 1980 and almost drove the wheels off it. Great times.

Vauxhall cavalier. Crashed it into a parked car. Come winter it was snowing and it didn't want to stop lol. A write off.

 

Ford Fiesta V reg, 1979. Looking back I am sure it was a cut and shut. The front end looked like a Mark I and the back end looked like a Mark II. But it got me through university.

I remember driving back from Colchester for the cup replay with Sheffield United in 1990 and on the way back, the exhaust disconnected from the front. Me and my mates arrived back in Colchester at 7am the next day on the back of a low loader. And my mate had an interview in London at 11 haha.

Bloody thing had a thing about clutches as well. Burned through 3 a year.

Happy days.
