Mine was an old bmw 3 series 316 84-91, old and really crapy car.  It more stood broken than really went on the road ;D but actually fun to drive and easy to repair

My most favourite car was second generation Delta which was my third car! Never had a single problem with that car, and boy it was luxurious in that time. Also really was good on the road like nothing I've ever driven before or since (and drove a lot of them in rent a car firm as student)

My wife to be had a MkII Cortina and back then it was very unusual to get a girlfriend with her own car!

She taught me to drive and I bought a Triumph Vitesse 2000, just like a previous poster.

 In those days insurance companys didn't care if you were a mad-for-speed teenager! I was driving a Rover P6 3500 when I was 21.

My first car was a J reg Hillman Avenger 1200cc which I bought in 1977 for £60. It lasted 3 years and then I bought another Avenger (1500 GLS) and then another one. Eventually I moved on to Omega's..and then another one, and then another one, and then another one, and then another one, and then another one.... Is there a pattern emerging here?  :-[

Triumph 2000. B.R Green(ish) with a soft concertina type sunroof.

Had an Opel Manta Berlinetta at one point. Colorado Sand with a black vinyl roof. Reg No. UBX 399T.
One day I was driving through my home town behind an Opel Kadette. Same colour and vinyl roof. The reg No. was UBX 400T

  
there is a rover 25 that I pass in the opposite direction twice a day, same colour as Mrs TB's one, and 2 digits out...

My first car was a 1969 Ford Cortina Mk2 Deluxe - with only 90% of the chassis! Bought for 200 quid .... IIRC.

Some welding and TLC; and I got nearly 2 years out of it. Passed it on to my then welder neighbour, who ran it for a few more years!
