Smudge Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 My first car was a white 3dr Polo 1.3 GL with denim blue interior. I loved that car, and I didn' have any accidents in her either. She was mint when I got her & pretty much stayed that way until she steped aside for the 106 XSi rollerskate 2 years later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudge Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 [ QUOTE ] A very knackered Escort Mk1, cost me £30 that did! [/ QUOTE ] indeed Ari. I bet £30 was a lot of money back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollox Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 K reg Ford Escort 1.4LX. 75 asthmatic Dagenham Donkies, metallic paint, ELECTRIC WINDOWS, a spoiler (!) a bass and treble controls on the stereo... No power steering, 500 turns lock-to-lock and 81k on the clock when I snapped it up. Some new bushes later and it ran well. It did get a new gearbox (£750) as well as £350 worth of fascia removal just to fix some issue with the heating so not quite as cost-effective as it could have been. 185 section tyres (14inch wheels IIRC) but I thought they were quite wide at the time. I didn't write it off but I did put it into some poor chap's front garden Via his garden wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32North Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Mini 1100 - when I was 16, which I couldn't drive and which my Bruv wrecked before I ever had a shot, followed by a string on Mini's, Fiestas and Novas / Astras. Then I saw the light and went over to VAG - MKII GTi, Audi 80 Quattro, SEAT Cupra, A3T and then the R32 !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philbes Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 1964 Mini 850cc bought in 1968 for my (then) fiancee by her dad. Red and had the roof painted black to make it look like a Cooper! Tyres were 165-10 (no profile stated 'cause they were standard -88% or was it 80?). Top speed was stated to be 72mph! Found it had been in a fairly major front end smash. Engine was too low so fan belt can't be fitted without jacking up engine and lots of fibreglass in front wings. Gearbox lost 1st and 3rd halfway betwen London and Ludlow. My wife cried when we traded it in for a white F-reg. (1968?) Escort Mk1 1100cc (OHT 53F if anyone knows if it still survives. It was still 'alive' in 2001) Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
