You bet LD, and ridiculous now to think we swapped it for a Morris J4 van to use to go odd jobbing in....

I bet we all wish we'd had the foresight to keep and garage some of our old cars.

I only I'd kept my Manta 409.....Escort RS1800/RS2000/Cosworthand Lancia Integrale I'd be sat on a small fortune (£120k plus)

1938 Austin Big Seven

Parents bought it for me one Xmas ... it cost £30 and had been sitting in the garage of a colleague of my Dad's for many years.

Re: Your very first car.

My first car was a Hillman Californian coupe in British Racing Green. Great load of junk with a sewing machine for an engine, but I loved it.

Re: Your very first car.

Mini 1000, me and my wife ( then girlfriend) had just passed our test, a few months later we went on a camping holiday to Cornwall, following her parents and one of her brothers ( they had a Skoda rapid coupe) who were following their friends in their car, her other brother was in our car along with a boot full of luggage and a roof rack stacked with camping gear.....14 hours later we arrived at the campsite after setting off at 8 the previous evening, the car leading got lost, and we all followed..... Never again did we travel through the night..!!

Re: Your very first car.

I had a Standard 10 first but l felt it was too old fashioned and traded it in for a Morris 1100 (JNX 299) which l took my driving test in.

Re: Your very first car.

Coming home just now, I saw a Morris Minor towing a caravan.
He had painted the caravan the same colour as the car, and it looked real smart.

I was surprised though, because unless he has a different engine, I wouldn't have thought a moggy had enough power to pull a caravan, especially uphill?
Looks like I am wrong though.

I used to love the old moggy's. I've had three.
