If we are hi-jacking into first cars - mine was a maroon HB Viva SL90 - £50 from the local auction. Just missed out on an Imp that went for £115, too much for me:I and a totally immaculate Rover P5B for £500 and a White Daimler 250 V8 with wire wheels for the same money on the same night[V]
My first car was a Ford Cortina Mk11 1300 £90.00 in 1976, had it for 3 days then some toerag nicked it and parked it in a bus shelter [!] Then I got a HA Viva
