What car did you pass your driving test in?

[OldTimer66]

Vauxhall Viva Mark 1 like this one. At that time (1967) BSM used to run fleets of them.

Great gear change, but would only go 40mph flat out it was so clapped out. I recall it had a stratospheric mileage - can't remember exactly what it was now. Got told off by driving test inspector for driving too slowly, but luckily he backed off when I told him I had my foot flat to the floor in a 40mph zone.

Happy days!!

Purple Austin Allegro 1275 (instructors car) in 1974.......shuffling the 'quartic' steering wheel was interesting!

Mark II 1/4 ton Landrover. Three point turn was a quite a workout and just so I didn't get overconfident before the test, my instructor distracted me and slipped the transfer box into neutral at a very busy junction on the way to the test and wet himself watching me panic as the toots behind me got louder and I had no idea why it wasn't moving.
