What was your first car?
« on: April 05, 2018, 21:47:04 PM »
Chatting today with a pal about our first cars.

Mine was a 1963 Triumph Herald Coupe - bought in 1971 for £45.00.

I hadn't passsed my test but a mate was selling it "for a song".

It died - and after passing my test in 1973 I bought my Dad's Vauxhall Victor for £60.00.

Best car I ever had........

Red Ford fiesta..£100. Bought off girl next door who thought it was no good. Took it down to garage for mot only needed bits done to pass. Heater didn't work though, used to freeze in it. Loved that car.

British racing green 1957 Morris 1000, GEN 722. Was the first year without the split windscreen but it still had the trafficator arms that popped out of the door pillar. At least until I disabled them and added flashers front and back. It was my dad's, my older brother's and then mine.

A red old style mini that used to die on me for about half an hour if I drove through any deep puddles. When I see them now they look so small and wonder how my 6ft 7in ex even got in the damn thing.

As a favour to my then girlfriend I took her " red old style mini" through a car wash. It had the sliding windows (no window winder) through which all the water poured.

I was eventually forgiven but the uphostery never lost that dank odour.
