First car I ever DROVE was my Dad's 1980 2 door Range Rover off road on private land when we lived in Scotland. Range Rover was new and I was 13!
First car I ever owned was a Triumph Spitfire WRV 509L. Bought it as a project, did it up with a mate of mine who was in the bodyshop trade and sold it after a few months of driving everywhere with the roof down (including through London on christmas day!) and made a tidy profit!
Next was a 1976 Mini 1275 GT in black with a 1293 blueprinted cooper engine, neg camber suspension, roll cage and single 1.75 SU carb. Best fun ever on a fiver of patrol. :lol: Sideways round roundabouts all the while! The RC40 exhaust sounded great and got through road rally scrutineering noise limits.
Then the rot set in - 1971 series 2a SWB petrol on 750 SATs in bronze green.
The rest is mainly Solihull history. Makes Dunsfold seem like amateurs!
