Your first "ride"

The thread on Knight Rider got me thinking about my very first car, at the tender age of 16 while attending Berkekey High School I bought a 1960 Chevy Impala convertable, white exterior and red interior with a white convertable top. This beauty had a 4 speed and a 348 cu in engine with 3 2bbl carbs. So, tell us about yours Question

1965 Mini brought when I was 14 so I could tinker with it. It was repainted a bright yellow with a black roof, wide wheels and full roll cage, bucket seats the lot, the engine was bored to make it into a 1340cc Oh those were the days!!! Laughing

Ha!! I test drove a Talbot Sunbeam and the gearbox broke when I tried to go into reverse.... unbelievably high build quality back then. ** Insert joke about modern day LRs here ** Wink

Mrs S likes an Austin Healey too. At least I think she's talking about the car and not a bloke of the same name. I also liked the old Rover 3500s... they went like poo off a shovel too.
