What was your first car?

[superwife]

Peppio - my trusty red Ford Fiesta - PPO 549S, may he have rusted in peace.

 

[zefarelly]

one of these

marvallous car . . .it got smashed up by a pissed up lorry driver, fortunately I was asleep indoors at the time

had at least a dozen others since and still got 4

I have had quite a few other motors as well from an 850 mini van to a TVR

 

[the full harris]

G reg Ford Fiesta, bought for £650, sold a couple of years later for £75 (it was absolutely on its last legs). Still feel sad when I think about the day I waved goodbye to him now.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Triumph Toledo, gearbox fell out on second jouney, mind you it was an ancient wreck even then!

 

[zefarelly]

Ford Fiestas seem to be the popular choice, like the Cortina in the 70's and anglias/bmc 1100 and minis before it

 

[Bakesy]

1969 Ford Escort Mk 1........with an 1100 2 stroke engine...

 

[Northstander]

Triumph Toledo, crashed when I just passed after drinking lager tops, thinking it was the same as a Shandy!

 

[33057 Seagull]

Fiat 127 930 cc. I gfot it off my grandfather & in early 80s it regularly got me from central Brighton to Cardiff in just over three hours.

 

[Blackadder]

18 year old Morris Minor (1000)

It cost me £65 to buy and £75 to insure! I was a learner driver at the time. I bought it as it was the same car my instructor had and I wanted to practice.

It wasn't exactly a looker!

I sold it for a fiver about 6 months later after I passed my test. It would never have passed an MOT.

 

[dougdeep]

Triumph Herald. Bought it for £10 did 25,000 miles in the first year and sold it for £20.

 

[Del Boy]

Ford Escort! Wrote it off within two weeks and got stuck with a Metro for two years!

 

[B.M.F]

Old style Peugot 104 from my Aunt as a birthday present. Sounded like a coffeee perculator and the wing mirrors folded in if you did more than 20mph.

 

[Beach Hut]

Escort Mk1 purchased for £400, had for 9 months and sold for £450 !

 

[Box of Frogs]

One of these - Ford Cortina Mk III 2.0 GXL

Only it was metallic brown with the black roof.

 

[Halftime Oranges]

Fiat Punto

 

[Pevenseagull]

a 1979 Renault 5 TS

nice big sunshine roof, a lot more fun than any of my mates cars at the time. I had it for about 3yrs until the rear wheel came off on the M1 whilst travelling at 100mph+ - happy days

 

[Yorkie]

'Our' first car was a Ford Anglia, mine was a Mini

 

[ManxSeagull]

Mine was a Grey Fiat Uni 55 that belonged to my mother and was given to me on my 17th birthday.

Wrote it off in 1993
