First vehicle I drove was a 3 tonne army truck, crash box, Bedford I think.  
First car I owned was a 1958 Ford Popular E93A (Sit up & beg) - 1172cc side valve, 3 speed box.  Eventually "souped up" & rallied!!!!  LMB suspension, 15" Zodiac rims.  Reg Nş 578 PMH.

[pete.h]

F reg 1968 Mini 850 , red with white roof.  Engine was knackered , the most I ever got out of it was 60 mph , I'm sure it should have been a bit faster than that?

H reg Astra Estate, 1.4

was a good car, and quite new at the time for a 1st car.
insurance was about another £1000 though  

Only ever had estates!

[JesterRT]

Vauxhall Nova   - ooooh the shame  

But it was in terrific condition, tiny miles on the clock (till I got it), and I never changed anything about it.  Even the radio remained factory original.  Tidy little motor that was.

'M' reg 1.8i cavalier. Dark Blue apart from my lovely purple passenger door & wing, never got round to changing it but it gave it character.  

[jereboam]

This was my first car - a Standard 8

Actually, my Dad bought it in the vain hope of teaching my Mum to drive.  She never got the hang of it, but my brother and I learned to drive it round the field out the back of the pub.  At some stage it was replaced by this one - an Austin A35

I had my first driving lessons in one of these - Austin A40 - seen that one before, haven't we?

Later lessons were on this - very different - the magnificent Austin 1100

And the first car I actually bought and owned for myself was a Ford Popular 100E

[paulc855]

First car i had access too was a mark III Ford Escort 1.6i, but the first car that i owned myself was a Fiat Panda 1.0

[Tefal]

i had a D-reg ford escort that i bought for £50. then it slowly rusted away until the clutch went.

had 3 cavaliers and a vectra before getting the miggy

[LaserLance]

1st car i had was a Austin Maxi 1500 G reg with hole in the passenger floorpan (me Fred Flintstone car i called it ) Cable gearbox. swapped it with guy as he wanted me Yamaha dt 175 for his son as a field bike. it lasted me 4 months ,scrapped it and brought a 1600 gxl mk3 cortina , electric blue with a black vynyl roof  

[waspy]

Morris Marina 1.3 Super (MDU861P). I don't know what was super about it. I fitted dirty great Wolfrace Alloys to it, the drag was & fuel consumption was shocking.
Certainly not super after i'd finished with it, demolished a stone wall & hit a ruddy great tree. Mr plod took one look at the car & said i shouldn't be here let alone walking around without a mark on me. There's still bits of my car at the crash scene & that's 25 years later  

[jereboam]

Bloody hell!  I must be losing it.  

All that stuff about the cars I learned on a few posts back must be wrong.  

I definitely took my first driving lessons when we lived in Central London, so I couldn't have learned on the old bangers in the field behind the pub, because my parents moved to the pub in the country after I went off to university.  And I definitely had more driving lessons while I was there.  

Maybe I was trying to show my brother how to drive.  

This is worrying
