Learnt in a NOVA 1.5TD but did my test in my brothers Hillman Imp. due to the NOVA being service on my test day. Passed 1st time though & the examiner loved it.

I'm with Jenson Button on the merits of passing first time.

You saying you failed it?

 

[zipdip]

I passed in a MK 1 Cortina

Should be pointed out that passing first time doesn't necessarily make a good driver, nor failing first time a bad one.

I do worry about these people who have hypnosis or whatever when they get to the 14th time...

Vauxhall Viva SL90. Dual Controls (He Man?) A light blue colour. It was in York City 1967. Ebor Cup Day. Passed first time. I remember peeling myself off the seat with a shirt caked in sweat when it was over. Examiner drove me home - said he always did that pass or fail.
Then went out "solo" in my Dad's Vanden Plas Austin Princess 1300. Boy it felt good.
First car ever bought. VW Beetle, VZ 4409 - ah Happy Daze!!

What a fantastic turnout of forum members on this post. Love it. Friends old and new right here before my eyes.
