What was the first car you drove and what car did you officially lean to drive in?

[w124nut]

My first car on which I unofficially learnt to drive was a 1952 Ford Anglia, model E93A.
It had a 3 speed gearbox, trafficator arms to indicate the direction of turning and no heater.

The first vehicle I drove was a tractor on my uncle's farm. I was about 9 years old then.

The driving school through which I later took my test had 1959 Austin A40s, pininfarina hatchback style.

First steered a car, sitting on my Father's knee - summer 1955, aged five - on what was a grass aerodrome near Dornoch.

Post-war Standard 12 - c40bhp exactly like this.

At 15 years old, taught myself to drive by taking his car and driving around Edinburgh and surrounding countryside. I really thought he didn't notice the increase in mileage and the reduction of fuel in the tank

1952 Standard Vanguard - 68bhp exactly like this, reg JSG818 which of course in on my C124.

Passed my test three years later in an Austin 1100.

The first car I drove, well more realistically moved away in, was a Wolseley 15/60. I think that was it's title, the car I learned to drive and passed my test in was a Ford Cortina!

A 1996 Peugeot 106 'Aztec' Learner Driver car, even though it was the 1st car I had ever driven, I knew it was crap.

 

[BTB 500]

First drive would have been my step-grandfather's DAF 33 (CVT transmission) round Bisley Camp in Surrey, when I was about 9 or 10. A few years later I was allowed to drive my grandmother's Mini round a disused aerodrome close to their house in Nottinghamshire.

I had a few driving lessons while at school (Datsun Cherry, IIRC) but carried on in my mum's Fiat 126, which is what I passed my test in.

 

[Alps]

Nissan Sunny as a learner, and a Ford cortina as a first car!

Took lessons in a 2003 nissan micra- very nasty. It had a sport button but it didn't do anything except turn a light on.
First car after passing was a 1995 Lexus GS300

[GP801]

1967 Riley Elf. Passed test in Volvo 145. The Volvo was incredibly easy to drive. Despite its size it had an amazingly tight turning circle for 3 point turns, reversing round corner etc.

 

[Deleted member 55947]

First drive was in an Escort, then 4 lessons in a Mini followed by numerous drives then a test in a Fird Escort van. Nearly failed after learning to perfect the nearside reversing round a corner the the examiner asked me to do an offside reverse around a corner!
