Your first car with pics please if you have em.

My first car was a Chrysler Alpine 1.3 it was rubbish.
This is how I bought it for £30:-



This is how it looked when finished, I fitted 4 new doors, bonnet, tailgate, two front wings, two sills, new rear panel, new clutch and rear suspension:-



Eventually sold it for £350 and bought my first Beetle EUJ 871C

 

mine was a moggy but we didnt have cameras then

 

Oh thats amazing!! I love that car I dont think I have any pics of my first car on this laptop (it was a long time ago!) but I will see if I can find some..

 

Good man the Chrysler Alpine was car of the year in 1977 by 1987 they had all rusted away.

 

Not my ACTUAL car but nevertheless the right, model, colour, year etc etc.

 

Show off. My first car was the worst car I have ever driven and yours was a stunner.

 

I have no photos of the actual car but it was one of these, 1982 VW Polo LX

 

My first car was a 69 1500 beetle in chinchilla, WMH104G it was, I often wonder what happened to it

 

I'll have to get the daguerrotype album out & see if there are any photos of my old van.
It was the same as this, only rusty & not shiny ....... guess it was a rat before there was a name for the look.

 

Snap! I had one too except in orange. I think it was called Mars Red but it looked more orange to me. Bought it at auction for £75. Fitted new dash and locks as it was a stolen recovery. Why they did do much damage I don't know - I could open mine with a friends keys and the ignition could be bypassed so easily. Bought a new dash from a scrapyard. Loved that car.

 

'76 Datsun 100A...but with a 1500 Stanza engine in it...Used to eat XR2's for breakfast at traffic lights,top end was crud though 'cos it was still on the original gearbox.Great fun though,had a cherry bomb on it too.

 

Mine was an Austin 1800 - Brilliant car with seats like armchairs.

 

@Chrisradioman you should edit the title, I didn't bother looking as I've never had a "new" car.

 

My dad has a mk3 Ghia, exactly like that, 2.0 auto on the T with a gnpenuine 19k on it. He loves it.

 

Oh yeah eddited.

 

1976 cortina 1.6xl £205 in 1986 - 10 years old and as rotten as a pear.

 

I didn't see that, I just followed the trend. My first and only new car was a Lotus Esprit, the car that turned me away from VWs for years. I went out looking to buy a new 911 but when I sat in an Esprit just out of curiosity I was blown away, it looked and felt like a spaceship

 

Love it. I always fancied a 2.0 GXL in yellow.

 

Awesome! Love mk3 s

 

My first motor. Paid £140 in 1993 had front end damage. New bonnet & headlight from the scrappy & a new "pop-on" wing, painted by my old man's mate-lovely job!
