I would dearly like to say mine was a 1981 Rover SD1 3.5V8 but unfortunately was the old mans but as he was out of the county most of the year, I used it alot........ bloody great fun.
Unfortunately my actual 1st car was a poo brown 1984 1ltr Austin Metro (UK) and the biggest bag of crap that money could buy, had it for 3 years and failed its MOT with out fail every year due to rust in all the wrong places (which got welded up to pass the MOT's) and broke down constantly...... always had to make sure I parked the car at the top of a hill as the only way to start it was to bump start it. It then became my younger bros first car, I sold it to him for 150 quid............. bargain at half the price hahahahahahahaha

Ferret...If you had that car now it would be worth quite a bit... they are a collectors item now.
My first was a "BMW 520 E12" in yellow, 1979 was its first reg. Most mates had mk2 ford fiestas or mk3 ford escorts, so was way cool. Cruising Southend-on-sea seafront at the weekend was fun then, when I was 17.
However was stolen on new-years eve! By then 6 months later had been in 7 accidents, broke exhaust manifold clean off, bent every panel badly, most lights cracked, rust every where, bumpers gone and one window put through by a granite kerb stone, the grand canyon running down the sump and the gear box 2” higher than the factory put it.
Never seen a yellow one again.:jawdrop:
my first car (back in 2003) was a 1977 Valiant CL Regal Wagon 318 with 727 torqueflite.. i went through 7 diffs & a gearbox in that thing !

And while that was being rebuilt/repaired (which equated to about 2 of the 3 years I had it) I'd pinch the old boys G60 with 302 Windsor transplant

i sold about 3 years ago.. it just kept costing me money and it wasnt cheap to run,... plus the rust had started to come back thru the newpaint job so figured it get rid of it while it still looked tidy...Quote:
