A red Ford Capri - a present.

[jambutty]

retro - just been talking about A30's on the Morris Eight thread.

[Prudie]

Austin 1100, a present that cost £200, already a banger when I got it

[Bazile]

i used to have a regular dream , wherein i would dream that i had taken it to this garage to have some repairs done on it , but had not gone back and collected it

[TWR]

Standard 8, £35.00, what a little cracker, there was even room in the boot?????? I will leave that for your thoughts.

[malana3]

Riley Monaco 1932 - £20 (this was in 1957)

[KJN]

Hillman Minx in 1965. Cost £40.

[RATTER15]

Ford Anglia, I swapped my mothers food processor for it from a family of Gypsies. It was 3 different colours due go the replaced body panels. It broke down every few days but I loved it.

[RATTER15]

That was in 1976

[rockyracoon]

Renault 5 Le Car. Can't remember how much it cost but I really loved it.

[jennyjoan]

Ford Escort at £100. Drove down south of Ireland - stayed there for a week. Came home - brakes failed - I crashed into bollards and flipped over 3 times =- walked away with some hefty bruises onto my head and thighs.

[Cloverjo]

A mini. I can't remember how much I paid for it, probably a couple of thousand about 20 years ago. I still love Minis and have recently got a new one. Much more comfortable than my original.
