car you sat your test in

I took mine (and passed first time, naturally...) in my driving instructor’s 1987 Mitsubishi Colt.

It gave me an opinion of mainstream Japanese cars that I still hold today, namely that they are well designed, easy to drive and as dull as ditchwater!

My first car was a beige Vauxhall Nova 1.2 that I absolutely adored. I cherished it for 5 years before going right to the other end of the Vauxhall range and a 2.5 litre Senator! I saw the Nova about 5 months later - it had been in an accident and was smashed up. I was heartbroken.

Yes, a mark 1, YXE 329H, 1970

Passed my test in the instructors 1.1 MK1 Fiesta - a nippy car and a great view from the drivers seat, so easy to park etc (no power steering but they were light).
At the time of this I also had bought off my sister a Lada 1200 - loads of room inside and bullet proof mechanical's but rusted right in front of your eyes....

Nothing like as retro cool for me... Only passed my car driving test in 1992 (was into bikes before then), so sat my test in one of these piles of shite (same colour):

I passed my test in the instructors 1.1 Fiesta, not the one I had lessons in because another student wrote it off the day before, so I had the iffy pool car. It looked just like this.

My first car after passing the test was a JPS Capri lookalike, nice at first glance but an utter pile of dangerous, rubbish and as it turned out a bent MOT. I didn't have it long though as it was stolen two weeks later and found written off eighty miles away. This wasn't it but gives you an idea why I fell for the mobile shed.

Six speed gearbox! Well high and low ratios, gearbox from van as the original gearbox went bang.

Austin 1300. Quite liked it, the handling was decent and it was nippy.

My Dad bought a new 1100 in 1964, in 1971 he replaced it with a 1300 automatic. About 1985 I bought a second hand Austin 1300 Vanden Plas. I rebuilt the engine/ gearbox and tidied up the bodywork. Gave this to him as a birthday present. It was a lovely car. Nippy too, engine was basically Cooper S. Dad died in 1991, in fact it's the anniversary of his death today. Stupidly, I gave the car away about four years ago.

I expected you to be different Gary, looks great.

I can't remember what the test car was but I did drive my fathers Hilman Imp California afterwards.

Not the actual one >

Passed my first test in this.
