Talbot Sunbeam (sadly not the Lotus version) waaaaay back in the Summer of 1979.
Oh, and what's wrong with Hillman Imps? That was my first-ever car that was.

Morris Minor (driving school car) in 1966. Always have a soft spot for these. Great car for a restoration project as most parts can still be got. I owned a split windscreen model c1953. 918 side valve engine, maybe 25 BHP, most I ever had on clock was 72 (downhill etc).

Took my one and only lesson in a Vauxhaul Viva in the morning, followed that same afternoon with taking my test in a Vauxhaul Chevette HSR, a powerful car in its day.
Incidently, my first car was a Z28 Camaro. £840 insurance for 6 months back in 1982

Dad's always had fast cars (I guess as he doesn't drink), like father like son, except until him I don't earn £160,000 a year so the WRX is my pride and joy
