How much did your first car cost?


Recommended Posts

1958 Ford Squire 998 AAL - £99. Changed it after a while for a 1959 Ford Anglia 2146 UB - £165, which I later wrote off in a collision (my fault) turning right from Thoresby Road, Bramcote onto Derby Road - before they put traffic lights there. Couldn't afford to replace it for a couple of years, but then bought a 1964 Wolseley 1500 - 432 LOC from a bloke at work for £200.

That's probably why it was falling to pieces. When it rained I had to stuff something in the footwell because the spray squirted into the passenger seat and soaked everything. Obviously before MOTs were ever heard of.

I think we part chopped it for a Vauxhall Viva. Classy or what?!

THE 'VIVA' WAS'NT A RED ONE WAS IT ? :biggrin:
