Your first car

[faithhealer]

Went to a vintage car rally tonight and you know the years are rolling by when your first car is on display. Not THE actual car obviously because my Yellow Vauxhall Hb Viva, before it expired had so many rust spots it looked like an over ripe banana!!

 

[White Room]

It was a ripe old mini, to start, turn the key then push a button on the floor. My brother had a HB

an 850cc mini, front wheel drive was great in snow! moss and lichen round the window seals didn't make it much of a pulling machine tho:lol:

My first car.

But mine was Purple with a square steering wheel.........and a knackered CV joint & suspension

1970 Hillman Imp purchased in 1977 complete with no heater, door mirrors or heated rear window and nearly forgot plastic seats and no headrests.
Kept it for two years and used to drive around 250 miles a week in it. If it went longer than two weeks without going wrong I was doing well.
These young ones don't know how lucky they are now!

226 GUU That was my first Hillman Imp - Blue , engine at the back.
1st van for work was a Morris 1000. Drove from Bournemouth to Newcastle in it with my then girlfriend - not now the wife.
Now its just the Porche - Oh how I miss those days!
