Steven:
Nice would of love to see that :lol:  8)

dazzawhipple:
Mine was a Vauxhall Astra Mk1................heavly modified with RUST

Stormin:
1956 Ariel Colt 200cc was my first vehicle. Cost me £45.  Nine weeks wages as an apprentice toolmaker.  First car was a 1960 Reliant Regal saloon with 750cc side valve engine.

Timi:
My first car was a 1964 Triumph Herald modified with disc brakes and Ford Escort 1600 sport cross flow kent engine with high lift cam and four branch manifold.
The body was a two seater spartan, soft-top sports car, it had alloy wheels, and a tow bar.

This was bought in 1997 and would have cost me £750 to insure I feel sorry for the new drivers who have to pay £2000 for a fiesta!!!

Unfortuantely it was too rotten so I gave it away a year later!
and had to make do with a rustin metro which wet through two engines and several engine mounts and sub frame mounts in the time I had it it had Over size alloys and a 2" lift!! which made handling really tight, articulation was not bad, but it gave up the ghost on a roundabout when the axle king pins sheared and front wheel came off.

All good experiance though.
