Mine was a Mk1 1.6 Ford Capri Lreg 1973 , Daytona yellow , white steel wheels and a Venetian blind stuck on the rear window! I thought it was the dogs narna's .
Had it less than a month when a big old Volvo estate tried to drive straight through me, complete write off !
That was early 1984.....blimey!!
E86 Sapphire Black, Auto, 224's

Please tell me it was a coupe.

I had a 1979 Hatchback. Coupes were much better looking though.

First car was a Fiat 127 though :oops:

'94 Peugeot 306, 1.4

I suspect the oldies will have more interesting cars here, I reckon anyone born after 1985 will almost certainly have had a clio, a corsa or a fiesta as their first car.

1956 Morris Minor KTY 883. Grey with a fair bit of rust. Bought it in 1964 when a student with money earned from a Summer holiday job. Had it for two years, trouble free and sold it to a fellow student. :thumbsup:

It only had 44,000 miles on it
Embarrassingly I put a sports steering wheel and spot lights on it :oops:

Great little car though (until the sills rusted) - learnt a lot working on it and was good for insurance until I built up some NCD
E89 2.0 SDrive MSport
Honda CB500F.
Gone but not forgotten E85 2.0 MSport
