Re: Your very first car.

One of these in this colour, a Vauxhall Cavalier Mk.1, 1981.
The Vauxhall paintshop must have opened a tube of Smarties as they came in bright green, orange, pale blue, red, yellow and brown.
Enjoyed it as a first car though the car I learned to drive in was my dad's Vauxhall Viva.

That's what my dad started off with, Carol.
We used to go to Bridlington every weekend in it to our caravan at Sewerby. Took absolutely ages!

Funnily enough this was my 1st car bought in 1976 for £15 off my brother, what a tank of a car this was with lovely leather seats and a arm rest ....wooheee...loved it to bits, sadly had to scrap it in 1979

Re: Your very first car.

I remember my Dad being so proud of his new car. I think it was a Vauxhall Wyvern? He was so proud because it had white wall tyres, do you remember those?
I can even remember the number plate from childhood.

Re: Your very first car.

Odd isn't it about registration numbers why you can remember some and not others? My dad had a Bedford Dormobile when we were kids, reg. no. WRA 672, why I can remember that I've no idea, and he had a Zephyr 4 in 1965, DVO 641C.
Weird...

Re: Your very first car.

All these reg numbers would be worth a fortune.

My grandad always said I could have his Fird Anglia when he popped his clogs as I'd always helped (hindered...just a 6 year old helping grandad).

When he died in 2001 he still owned it (collecting dust in his garage) but....did I get it?
No....my uncle made sure his son got it.

I wonder how much that reg us wirth now and what car it's on....my cousin sold it straight away.
