As we seemed to have moved on, my very first car was one of these,



Since then I've lost count of the cars owned or driven as a company car.

These days, just a bike.

My old man never had a car.  Well he did have various loan ones through North Africa, Middle East and Italy, but they were all khaki coloured.  He was though a proud owner of a 1950s BSA 500 motorcycle combination, and in fairness it did get us all about as a family when we were all young.

Oh yer and my first car was a 1961 green mini with a firbe glass front, with plenty of other rust spots.  This mismatch of material and rust was soon solved as a problem when my brother and I repainted - by hand and brush - in a nice light blue, using the spare dulux paint from the shed!!!

It was a big Vauxhall car like this, late 1950s,  but with running boards at the side a bit 'Al Capone style' I remember the starting handle having to be used frequently & having hot water bottles in the winter!    .   Maria

Some of these old cars are beautiful and as George say, some were really big inside. I loveseeing the vintage car rallies, often seen during the sumer around these parts.
My own first car was a red Hillman Husky bought very second hand in 1974



And my car now - A Fiat 500 Lounge
