What was your first car ?

prob been done before but as we now have a "new" forum lets do it again. I`ll start.
My first car was a 1968 Ford Cortina 1600 GT that I bought from a scrap yard two weeks after passing my test, paid £50 for it, put a set of wings on it got it sprayed red with a black roof....all the rage at the time !.
Got it MOT`d kept it for about 6 months then sold it to a boy racer for £200 who then decided to wreck it after having it for a month. Was a great car loved it so much I then went and bought a 1600E.

1972 Vauxhall Viva HC, racing green brought for £300 in 1983 1 month after I passed my test.
Ended up being written off when I stuffed it up the rear of an ARC Conbloc 6 wheeler in the M40 Stokenchurch cutting about 5 am one Monday morning when I was on my way to my T.O.PS course in Slough
The Diver of the Conbloc lorry said he felt a bit of a bump,
and my Beautiful Viva looked like somebody had grabbed the front of it and screwed it up like a tissue

two years ago - vauxhall corsa '98
mum's old car she couldn't get rid of - cat c written off at some point
first car and first experience of getting somewhere and not having to take of an extra skin of motorcycle clothing...
Gave it to my friend for scrap value who gave it to his sister when he realised just how bad it was.... mould growing over the rear seats (him, not me!), no interior fan, had to rev the engine when starting. I called it character, he called it annoying and bought a brand new suzuki swift...

1973 Austin All Agro 1500 Super.
Wrote it off by reversing into the neighbours daughters MG Midget. All it did to the MG was bent the tin badge on the bonnet!

Held out till 22 years old before turning to the dark side and passing my car test.
First car was a MK1n blue 78 Cavalier 1600 with vinyl roof ,had a tooth missing off the flywheel so sometimes you had to rock it in gear before it would turn over

My first car was a 1984 astra estate which my dad bought me in 1995.
His deal breaking selling point to me was 'its just been resparayed beige!!'
Beige? Beige for focs sake, why not respray it a different colour instead, I thought at 18.
Loved it though, I was in a band and it was perfect for getting around.

Mid Sixties MK1 1600 Cortina estate, bought as a non runner for 40 quid in 1978. Cam timing was 180 degrees out (guy had had a go at rebuilding engine) and both halves of the carb needed lapping flat so they would seal together. Wrote it off when the steering broke and it turned right into front garden wall when I used the brakes, happy days.
Spent 45 quid on a late sixties 1700 V4 Ford Corsair, which I sold for 150 about two years later.

1978 Reliant Robin 850 super, tipped it onto its side at20 MPH, 2 of my mates climbed out through the passengers window and flipped it back onto its wheels, took it home and filled the door pillar with P40 and was back on the road an hour later, got it free off an old uncle, ran it a year and sold it for £500.

1967 Singer Vogue bought from a chef at the Albany hotel Glasgow I only met the guy the once but remember his name was Keith Luck (Kluck to his mates!)
Bought it in 1980 while also being the owner of a CB250T both were considered outmoded...both were quicker than the unitiated may think

brown austin allegro 1750 HL with a full length windey vinyl sunroof
it used more oil than petrol. it rotted so badly underneath that the drivers seat went through the floor one day when i sat in it. my uncle managed to bodge it with some steel plate from work. when i eventually scrapped it for £20 i bought a brown datsun 120Y. a little belter it was too!

X reg Corsa 1.2. Was brand new as they had a decent finance package and the first years insurance was free. Sold it after 7 months as I'd gone from young free and single to married with children and needed something a bit more family friendly
