Your first car - with pictures

I know what you mean James....

Don't forget VAT goes up in January, may be ok if you can book it in before?

First car I drove being newly married...was an " Sherman Tank" if ever there was one...an 1960 Chevrolet...I doubt I could get the thing in the picture thread here it was so big an long...but that's how they made them back then. It was kind of an off white...and we kept it long enough to wear out the floor board in the rear of it...we sold it and the people that bought it weiled an plate over the hole that was forming back there. They were quite happy. So were we...in getting something else and newer.

My first car was a Mini. I can't remember the year of the car, but I bought it from my parents, and drove it for years. Here it is on our wedding day.

My first car in 1970 was a 1964 Ford Thames 12 cwt van.  Cost me £35 which was a month's wages for me back then. Prior to that was a Raleigh moped.

Taking my driving test in Hastings, the examiner had asked---What does a Give Way line look like?  I replied, Broken lines across the road.

He then asked how many lines?  I said it depends on how wide the road was.

He then asked which Highway Code I'd been studying?
