First car I drove arround in was my mums company Toyota Starlet - identical to this one:  Took my test in it as well. Nearly lost it rounding a bend doing 110 (private race track...) trying to keep up with a BMW about an hour after passing... Put 320 miles on it that day. Also started to drive my own car the next day, 205 XS  |

Unfortunately i don't have any pictures, but my first car was a 1975 Rover P6 V8. I'd bought it when i was 15 from the local scrapyard, dumped it on my parents back garden, and spent every penny getting it ready for when i passed!

I had a talbot samba 954cc. bought it a few weeks before my 17th birthday. by my birthday I'd resprayed it black, lowered it, fitted alloys and a 1360cc lump from an ax gt along with twin solex carbs for citron visa and made up an exhaust. My birthday was on a thursday, drove it to work that morning and around all evening with my dad. Had my first driving lesson friday afternoon and got put stright in for my test. Had to wait 6 weeks for my test which seemed like six years at the time!!!

Passed my test in my instructers k10 Micra but wasnt allowed to drive home, so the first car I drove after passing was my mums 1989 F reg Mini Mayfair, which looked rather alot like this one;  I got my fist car the day after but couldn't drive it till the weekend when I could go into town to the insurance company and give them a cheque. I had a ceramic blue 1.3 Mk3 Escort 5door. |

Well I passed my test in a '98 Fiesta (goodness knows what model/engine!) and my first car was an '87 Nova 1.2 Merit in some anonymous mid-blue colour... That was a great first car as it was pretty damn quick and it had room for all my mates!!! I'd definitely have another...  |

Long ago (September '94), I passed in my instructor's Corsa, like this but colour coded and sign written:  Then first car I drove was my Mum's awesomely slow K plate Fiesta 1.1 Festival - this very one:  Finally about a year later I managed to scrape up £500 to buy and over £600 to insure this awesome beast - all 41bhp of it. But, one owner from new, 34,000 miles on the clock and the muchly sought after two door - would be worth a fortune today:  |

This. Passed my test in it too, lasted all of a fortnight before a kind Citroen driver ran into the back of me and wrote it off.  |
