Your first car - with pictures

              PLEASE MEET "MR. JELLYMOULD"

Hi. I took to the roads in the very early 1970's with Mr.JellyMould, a 1953 series MO Morris Oxford 1500 side valve. It was like a giant Moggie Minor in flat matt battleship grey, a split windscreen, a broken doorhandle with room only for two fingers to get hold of and NO HEATER. It did have a train style rack to carry survey plans , windows that you had to raise by hand and then rapidly wind the window handle up to make the window stay up and Progessive Rock thanks to a portable Sanyo stereo cassette player. In later life it was covered in stickers of wild gnashing ducks, many drag racing decals and being a surveyor at the time it even had it's own portable bench mark o.s. style (not that it ever helped with any level circuits). Sadly Mr. JelyMould came to a sudden end when on the South Circular I tried to out drag an 850 Norton Commando-- he won Mr JellyMould broke a half shaft.

After this I converted to a brand new car which I had for the next 7 years-- a Fiat 128 RALLYE-- but that is another story.

Wait! Did you mean where on the picture. or where in England? If you meant where in England, then we were in Reading, Berkshire. 

I know where that is Sue.  Went past there the other day and they were still sweeping up all the rice and whatever. 

I had a white Renault 12 TS!!!  i carpeted it all inside ...and loved it ...b....y horrible car it was really though!! :oD   the seats were very comfortable!! i'll give it that!
