I passed in 1976 in a bright yellow Triumph Dolomite Sprint. 

This was the instructors car and he used it for all my lessons.

1960 Zephyr 6 MkII Lowline.
3-speed box, column change, crash first gear, vacuum operated wipers. valve radio! bench seating (green leather) umbrella handbrake and floor mounted dip switch.

manual windows, no central locking, no heated rear window, no seat belts, no air bags, no power steering or servo brakes, no cup holders, no eml (it just stopped if anything went wrong).

It later gained an aquaflow? head, triple brass bodied SU carbs, twin exhaust and a remote mounted Powerstop servo from an ex-police version found in a scrapyard in Earby.
