My first car was a 1972 VW Type 3 Fastback, I loved that car!! It had 2 boots one in the front one in the back, hours of fun getting friends to try and find the engine!!! (it was under a hatch in the back, you had to roll back the carpet. Since then i've had 1 beetle 2 campers and 3 golfs and i'm thinking of swapping my golf for a Beetle again (old Style)
Any other vw'ers here?
Dawn and Ian,
I wonder what happened to your Mini Clubman after it starting rolling down the hill and where it ended up? I have a mental image of a man limping down a hill chasing after a Mini Clubman, shouting and waving his arms.
My first car was also a mini clubman estate, mine was white. I transported an old fashioned pram in the back of it, from one sister to the other, doubt I could have done that in anyother car I have owned since! When the back seats were put down flat it was such a great regular shape. I got a chest of drawers in there once too!
I was offered £100 for the number plate by a bloke who did some work on it, something to do with his nickname. JOP400P.
I part exchanged it for a red mini metro which I then sold before going to work overseas. I've driven loads of different cars since then.

My first car was a dull orange ford escort with a black spoiler on the back...well i thought it looked cool...xr3i style. I was only 20 didn't know much about cars should have twigged when it was solded to me as spare parts and scrape! :doh:
1968 Ford Corsair 2000 V6: I loved that car.
White, leather seats, rolled like a ship. Did 25 to the gallon-not petrol, body filler. I 've never seen a piece of engineering rust so fast. You couldn't hear the radio above the sound of rotting metal. How I wish I had it now :cry:
my first car was my beloved series 3 landrover, lovingly stripped down to the last bolt and rebuilt by my fair hands, after 4 years of loving ownership it had to go.... you can't beat the character of a back to basics motor, though I wont miss it's luke warm heater and it's 17miles to the gallon....saying that, I'm still pondering on getting one to do up again...ah the memories !
My first car is an Audi A3, i just love it. The diesel turbo is amazing.
My first car was a 1982 ford capri was red....
Could not keep the back end on the road!
Paid £550 back in 1992......
Fiesta 950cc. Cost about £700! Quickly debadged, XR2 pepper pot alloys fitted, big bore exhaust and a sound system worth more than the car installed.
Yep I was a bad boy racer (I can hear the boo's in the background).
Grown up now though you'll be pleased to hear......
1978 was when I brought my first car...vauxhall viva...silver.....can even still remmeber thr eg PJW105L.......can PVC seats in the back and i polished them so much that when i went round a corner anyone sitting in the back would slide from one side to the other !!
