Does a Bedford CF van count .....??
That was my very first vehicle after I passed my driving test and when I moved away from motorbikes.. I was racing canoes seriously then and used the van as a camper to attend al the races all over the UK. It was fast and had loads of space, but I blew the engine up on my way so Scotland and traded it in for a Volvo 140 estate!

The red one was a GTA 16v, which was rarer than the GTI counter part. not sure if anyone can see the badge. I have had 3 metros. Blue one was the last ever one i will own. They are far to rare now, and going back again to getting my hands on another one later on down line, will be like picking up a defender for £50 with MOT. Got to say though those two were the very last of the colour and models in sunderland The GTA 16v one certainly was the last 16v one, The blue one was one of the 1st registered and i think that colour only lasted till 1992. I could show more about them if there is interest. You lads might get a surprise Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back Success is 90% Inspiration and 4 minutes Preparation # you can make it! |

My first car was an Austin A30 4 door. No photos sadly. Happy if somewhat uncomfortable memories of the rear seat. Lucky it was 4 door.
Others were Fiat 127 Mustard with black go faster stripes, Mini (want to talk about rust?) Daihatsu Fourtraks (Fantastic vehicles off road) Rover 45/25 (Very reliable but boring) |

I've only owned 2 cars, and I still have both of them to this day.
The first I bought at 14, which is a 1966 Series 2a Truckcab (mainly gets used for Greenlaning/Shows), and my daily driver is a 1989 Ninety, with a 200Tdi. |
