[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

.........so this would be for the period from 1965-76 for me.

A few that come to mind.

Mr Johnson. Maths teacher. Arrived one day with a brand new 'K' reg 1971/2 Wolseley 18/85 All the kids thought it was an old-fashioned bag of crap.


Mr Jennings. English teacher. He drove an old style Classic Capri from the early sixties. Red with a white roof.

Mr Simms. Art teacher. Drove an 'oddity' called a Clan Crusader. Yellow in colour we were quite impressed especially as he and the super sexy Ms Keeling (drama teacher) would sit in it together at lunch time. I believe it had the engine from a Hillman Imp.

With your sex, drugs and rock n roll lifestyle, I'm impressed you can remember so far back!

Late 70's headmaster had a white marina,maths teacher a beige maxi,craft teacher had a reliant kitten,surprisingly don't recal any having a Vauxhall not even throughout all my school life.whereas my dad had vivas ,chevette,Cavaliers,and his work bt ha van. Wish I had one of them !

[Mister Rog]

I have absolutely no idea what car she drove . . . . . . not do I care . . . 

but I clearly recall the blonde teacher who wore mini-skirts who used to sit on the front desk showing her knickers to the boys in the front row

.......and she knew exactly what she was doing.

[BazaJT]

Your teachers had cars Or as my son once asked me when he was about 5yrs old"Did they have cars when you were alive dad?"
I can only recall 3 cars from my Comprehensive schooldays.The headmaster had a Ford Zephyr convertible in pale blue with a white roof[and he wore driving gloves!!]Maths teacher had a "sit up and beg"Ford Poplar and science teacher had a Ford 100E[both had I believe the 1172cc sidevalve engine]

[Viral_Jim]

The only one that sticks out in my mind was our head of maths, who drove a purple lotus Elise. And she drove it like she stole it 

The rest were an array of euro boxes with the odd Volvo or Saab thrown in. 

[BazaJT]

Oh and one teacher[I forget which subject]rode a BSA 250 Starfire!

[Bigron]

Our woodwork teacher, Mr. Parker, had a beautiful Jaguar XK120 in the only colour acceptable - British Racing Green! He idolised that car and polished it to within an inch of its life; woe betide any pupil who went near it!

 . . . . probably because I used to sit in the front licking my eybrows   

[TheBoy]

Mrs Grainger, pretty divorcee with a reputation  , drove a X19. And very comfortable it was too. Apparently.

The rather sour Mrs Thomas turned up in a brand new MGB.

Mr Long from middle school had a Mk1 Capri, and enjoyed being a looney driving us kids back after school team football matches.


That's about all I can remember, the others must have all been non descript shitboxes

[Shackeng]

French teacher had an Austin 7 and Head of maths had a pre war Armstrong Siddely with dickie seat, in the tank of which, a pupil, who hated him, put sugar on his last day.

[pscocoa]

Junior school 1958 ish, Morris 1000, Mini with floor start button and Austin Cambridge - teacher used to go to France in Cambridge and showed video of trip. At next school recall Singer Gazelle driven by French teacher, Humber Super Snipe and a couple of Rovers (90 and 110) driven by English teacher.

[2boxerdogs]

Miss Thompson , gorgeous maths teacher nickname was
T & A ( Tits & Arse) grey Morris 1000 even remember the reg RJT 160  sad isn't it. 😞

[Sir Tigger KC]

After taking the piss out of Lord Opti for his powers of recall, I realised this afternoon that I cannot remember what my teachers drove! 

I think that the French teacher rode a 125cc motorbike which we all laughed at because it was a commuter style bike and not at all cool, the Chemistry teacher had a white Marina (Cool!  ) and the Metalwork teacher had a brown Saab 99. That's all I can remember... 

I was probably more interested in the girls at that point in my life.
