What car did you first own when you passed your test?

[pioneercollector]

I have done a quick search and i cannot see another thread, There are 'First MB' threads, but nothing general.

My first Mercedes is the one i now own...... But my first car in 1983 was supposed to be a 1972 Vauxhall Viva, in metallic purple with a tiger skin print dashboard !! Oh and super-slot alloy wheels..... All for the princely sum of 145 GBP!

Luckily for me my friends older brother owned a 1974 Toyota Celica ( GHR832N ) and needed some cash very very quickly..... so the amount for all of my worldly possession's sold off .... 247.50 GBP i purchased the Celica! It wasn't mint by any stretch of the imagination, not heater, carpets, and grey primer wings...... but the 1600GT was one hell of a lot nicer than the Purple / tiger Viva !

So what was your first car and why?

This is the same colour, but not mine - I had a much rougher looking car with a black vinyl roof!

I will see if i can find a photo -

Back in the day I had 1946 Standard 10.
It used to jump out of second gear.
It was older than me
