First car
« on: 23 September 2008, 20:26:33 »
This has probably been covered before, but what was your first car? In 1986 I had a 1979 Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with overdrive and Sprint alloys in Brooklands green. Was so proud of that car at the time. ;)

First car I had was a 1939 Ford Anglia sit up & beg went halves with a mate  cost us £25. The first car I owned outright was a 1951 Sunbeam Talbot 80 with a Hillman 4cyl engine  4 speed gearbox and Bendix cable brakes, great brakes going forwards not worth a f@rt going backwards. I bought it from the boss of the garage I worked at for £25 in 1961, had 2 years motoring out of it till the engine let go.
