1963 Morris Mini Van in willow Green bought for £180 with 6k miles on the clock in 1966. I wanted a Mini saloon but as a lowly paid engineering apprentice I couldn’t afford one, buy the minivan with a loan from Mum & Dad. Had great fun in it, crashing, bashing and thrashing it. Tarted it up, removing the chrome hub caps, re spraying the front grille Old English White, adding a white stripe on the drivers side over the bonnet roof and back door, complete with a Peco big bore silencer it was the dogs what’s its! Sold it on completion of my apprenticeship and bought a 1967 E reg MGB roadster in Tartan red with wire wheels and overdrive. Those were the days!!
So what was your First ever car you owned!
