Re: What was your first ever motor?


DM - my hubby had an Austin A35 . . . he actually lived in it for a while whilst at art school in the late 60s He had one of the pale blue ones and funnily enough we saw one today and he remarked on it!!!

I had a rust-coloured Renault 5 . . . 'P' reg (1976). Got it for my 18th birthday and it was the biggest pile of rust n rubbish you could hope for, I had similar performances of pumping the gas pedal, thumping the starter motor with a metal bar, driving for ages on full choke the the blighter warmed up etc etc!

Still - it served me for 3 years whilst at art school in the West Midlands and ferried me and my friends regularly into Birmingham to the Powerhouse on Wednesday and Saturday nights (ahhh - those were the days)!!!

Still see an odd "Hettie", coughing round the country lanes.........!
Mine was classic dark green - but matt, rather than shiney as in the pic

Ford Capri 1.6 GL in gold, decided I wanted more speed so I changed the engine over for a 2L and painted the car black
