my first car was a 1955 morris traveller

I was 15 and paid £12.50 for it, replaced the wheel bearing and got it moted, sold it on at a profit

so I was dealing in cars before I had left school and before I could hold a driving licence

He's only 6ft 5.. i am sure he will manage..

Nice car though hey!!

very nice and the lad works hard for it

The Gordini I think and it had to be white but insurance was 5 times the price of the car, I have a figure of £3,500 for the insurance quote :crazy:

 

[Scott]

Gordini but close My mate had one but couldnt afford the insurance, kind of brings us full circle!

 

[Scott]

850cc mini was my first car, I see they've come a long way since then:hurray:

same here too doug, i had wide wheels and lots of fogs on the front, was a real babe magnet! (so i thought :lol: ) then i traded it in for a viva with a fur dashboard!

 

[faithhealer]

Mine was a hb Viva, saw one in an vintage car show a few years ago, thats brings it home lol

 

[Andy Allen]

datsun 120y was my first car complete with spot lights that if turn on drained the battery in three seconds, and of course furry dice hanging from the mirrior.

it was a complete rust bucket so traded it in for a hillman avenger with boy racer wide wheels............oh the good old days
