This is the first one I remember clearly WNH 14L

Btw, you can check if the car is still out there at https://www.taxdisc.direct.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/app/enquiry?execution=e2s1

If the date of liability is current then it is still going

Here is my Dad's first car, indeed his only car.




Which was a lot smarter than my first car. So is the one in the photo - mine had rubber front wings.

Hillman minx and a Morris eight I think Colwyn, my father had one of these VOW997 amazing how we remember these number plates from 50 years ago

But MY first car (in 1971) was a Wolsley 1500
(number plate YMR444 - would be worth a fortune now !)
Cost me the princely sum of £32 - knocked down from £35 
Spent double that filling up yesterday !!!!!

I swapped my BSA Bantam for mine

[Colwyn]

Correct Tinx, Morris 8 Series E. Nice reverse opening front doors.

Known as suicide doors ! I have them on my Rover 110 but only for the rear passengers.

Spooky !
I went Bantam, Triumph Tiger 90, Wolseley 1500 and then a Mini with fibreglass front
(p.s. remember to do up the bonnet catches before testing the brakes after repair - OUCH !!!!)

we couldn't afford a car, this was the nearest we got to four wheels!

I used to love those, I'm an extractor fan now
