Meant to contribute to this for a while and then yesterday I found photo of first car. This was 1969 - Ford 105E Anglia. Bought for £7.6.11. I did it up and painted a fox on the boot - it was quite famous in South London. Sold it in 1972 - being a student could no longer afford to keep it - went for £75 to an Australian who drove it up and down the Kings Road

83 Lada Niva in council orange… Great fun when it was going, but it did spend a lot of time on the back of an AA truck. Sold it for the same as I bought it for so not all bad!

Not guilty 
One of these, Fiat Mirafiori; automatic choke a fucking joke (I’m a poet and I don’t know it) and it was just generally total shite even though it looked quite good. I think Mirafiori means something like full of love. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. No. NO… Good to get it out of the system after all,these years, thanks
Mine was a B reg Vauxhall Nova 1.2 ‘Niblick’ special edition, in a delightful shade of hearing aid beige. It was immaculate and I adored it. I owned it for 5 years and put 40,000 miles on it and I loved every single one of them.
I changed it for a 2.5 litre Senator and saw it a few months later - it had been in an accident and was quite badly smashed in at the rear. I was heartbroken and furious in equal amounts.

Ooh we had a 3l white Senator with all the toys, but I was upset my dad didn’t go for the Monza GSE.

The next was a Vauxhall Chevette. That lasted two years until the gearbox fell out.

Fantastic car. Lowered with dished alloys that would look the mutts !
I bet you wish you’d kept it.
As a newly licenced, Aussie 16 y.o., it was a great car. Curtains and a mattress fitted into the back (to protect my drumkit), it was fantastic for taking young ladies to the Drive-In.
I’d have another one in a heartbeat. Just for different reasons 
Yeah, but even for different, totally cool reasons. Where is it ? I want it ?
My first car - Reliant Supervan. Exchanged it for my Honda motorbike at the Reliant shop on my way home from work on a very rainy evening in about 1973. I’d never had driving lessons or driven a car before.
Drove it home about 10 miles in the pissing down rain - oh what fun…
