Mine was a 1969 Vauxhall Viva HB. The wire worm had a huge appetite, and the 3 bearing crank of the 1159cc engine could not cope with my demands. It died under a horse truck on boxing day 1978 with police car shoved up its back end. I did say the road was icy, and the police knew the road was blocked when they came round the same corner as I and applied their brakes.

GKL 765V a black 1275 GT Mini in black with Gold 1275GT decals down the sides & 12" (I think) mini-lites. Fitted bucket seats...Loved that car! My parents hated it.

Ford Cortina 1600E as a learner, but once passed my test went to auction with £140 in my pocket and came home with a Toyota Crown.
Like this: 2 tons, 17 to the gallon, £90 insurance. Happy days. |

A-reg Vauxhall Cavalier - 1.6L
My mate had an exact same one but his was the GL and had a few nicer bits of trim. |
