My first car

[Ian]

Just wondered if anyone had any pics of their first car, or any cars you've had since you passed your test. If you have no pics, what was your first car? Here's mine, a 1985 C reg Ford Orion 1.6i Ghia, car cost £1050, insurance was £1100 third party fire and theft!!!!

Mini 850, I even remember the Reg number - OGN926P

It cost £5 to fill the tank and I thought that was expensive.

First car was actually a van. An Austin Maestro 2.0 d. Was an awesome van. Had it about a year then got stollen. Not got many pics of my old cars, just more recent ones. I'll try & get on the PC & get some up.

In the meantime, here's my Scooby STI in the snow

My first car was a '91 Orion 18 straight diesel. 64bhp and 0-16 in 16.7. Only had 50k on it and was actually a real minter. Bought it pink for £100 and sold it for £400. Done a wee writeup on it on a car website I was on: Wingnut's Ford Orion LX 1.8D (1991)

First car was a mini, turn the ignition key and push a button on the floor to start....that was about 1974 and cost me £50.

Love the RS Turbo wheels on yours Bri. I had to make do with Mk5 Mondeo hub caps. :lol:

The 1600s were rapid, quicker than an 1800 Cav.

I'll stick another up, 1990 H plate Orion 1.6i Ghia (can you see a theme, lol), I was we'll and truly into chav mode by now, think I was 18 when I got this!

Class, a kitted Onion looked as good, if not better than a MK4 RS Turbo.

1984 B-reg Volkswagen Polo Coupe in white, bought for £400, insurance was £700, scrapped it for £20. It looked very much like this photo I found on google

After the Orions I moved onto Mondeos, I'll keep you in suspense for a bit!

I then moved into girl racer mode
and bought a 1990 Citroen AX GT in black.

 

[Peter]

Did it get to the stage where it looked like you crashed through Halfords?

I got classy after the Orions, much more subtle mods.

Next car was a small bumper mk2 Golf 1.3CL. 1992, one owner 44k on the clock bought for £500. Sold with 76k for £900. Note, this was the last car that I ever made a profit on.

Mine was a 1968 Vauxhall Victor FD2000 in burgundy. Bought it in 1978 for £180, the insurance was £220. She took every penny I had then left me 3 years later !
