1997 Defender 90 300 Tdi HT Stornoway Grey

What was your first car?

So the question is: "What was your first car?"

Feel free to share your stories and experiences, however embarrassing they may be

Mine was, and still is, my Defender 90. Something I'm actually quite proud to have as my first car

What was yours? An engine to TDi for!

2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 DCPU Stornoway Grey

A 1966 Triumph 2000 mk1 estate, and a very nice car it was too, until the inevitable tinworm became too bad. It was followed by a 1974 twin-wheel Transit minibus, with the awful V4 2 litre engine and the strangest auto box I have ever driven. In about 1978 that was sold to finance my first L-R, a 1953 80" which I still have. I have never been Landroverless since.

A Datsun AFII like this one:

Same colour too.

My first Land Rover, which is far more interesting, was this one:

A (heavily-discounted) Rover 200 just after BMW sold the company to the Phoenix Consortium. Seem to remember at the time them having 100s of unsold cars stored on an airfield...

2009 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 SW Alaska White

FIAT Panda

In many respects it looked a lot like a (much) smaller Defender Ninety, roughly the same shape and had many minor niggles but never let me down
