Your first car

Mine was a 1956 Austin A40 Cambridge that I bought from a dodgy dealer in Wendover in 1971,1200cc of pulsating power…£35 to you sir !!:D (I was being paid £3 a week as a ‘Brat’ at the time ! )
Completely worn out column change (you had to scrape the steering wheel with the gear lever to get 1st or 2nd :D),Front brakes were hydraulic – rears were mechanical.
The starting handle was used every cold start ,obligatory clothes peg to keep the choke out of course…but to be fair she never let me down !!
Didnt have a camera then but here is a pic from a classic car site…
