First Car.

[melv16]

What was your first car and how much did you pay for it?

[ChillDoubt]

Daihatsu Charade, £3,800, brand new in W. Germany, 1989.
It was 1 litre, 3 cylinder and was brilliant for getting around and back and to on leave.
It was so good I kept it for 10 years!

[hellywelly4]

1937 Standard Flying Nine £27.10s.0d. In 1960.

Morris 110. Nothing, bought by Daddy.

[237SJ]

Red Ford Escort. I bought it from my sister for £500 and she tried to charge me more because she had bought a new tyre but my Dad told her off and put a stop to that idea.

A 1967 Riley Elf, paid around £250 if I remember rightly.

[Hopkirk]

A Mitsubishi Lancer.

I can't remember the price, but it didn't break the bank.

[Captain2]

A 1959 Ford Anglia 105E; £30 of which £20 was for the added 'extra', the radio. Approx 1972

[DTCwordfan]

A fire-engine red Triumph Herald with a drop roof....and then the first one I bought outright from ill-gotten gains from my 'gap year,' as it is now called in the North Sea, a turquoise-green Austin 1100 Vanden Plas, which I had through Uni......think I paid about 300 for it.

[DTCwordfan]

this was 1974.....

[EDDIE51]

1957 Austin Cambridge paid £25 in 1973. Went well for 9 months before a piston snapped. I sold it for £5 scrap, bargain.

[shoota]

I had a Cambridge, great car, bought for £50, new rad and tyres, drove for 3 years and sold for £50 to a milkman who turned it into a pickup and delivered milk with it.

[shoota]

What was the difference Tony?

[tonyav]

First vehicle was like this.

[stuey]

A 1967 Volvo "hump-back" style in British racing green for $3,600. I could have bought a North American built car for half the price; but, oh no....I wanted to be "different":)

This is a great thread for judging the age demographic of this site!
Mine was a Renault Clio diesel, 1992 plate *whippersnapper!*. It was obviously a high spec and I paid 1450 for it, which I had to get a loan for. It just went and went though. It got fried twice from major water leaks and survived it. When it finally came to selling it, I decided to have some fun and put it on eBay as a "shed on wheels" and wrote a comedy listing, stating features such as panoramic 360 view wheel arches, set the bidding at 99p and sat back and laughed a lot.
It eventually sold to a young woman whose own 1992 Renault Clio Diesel had just given up the ghost with double my mileage on it and she was gutted because it was such a great car and was looking for an identical one. She won it for 200 quid 7 years after I bought it.
