I passed (first time) in 1974 in my father's 1967 Citroen DS Safari--on one of the rare occasions it actually worked. I had done all of my learning in his 1959 Rover 75, which was solid, reliable, and magnificent in comparison. Before the Rover he had a 1950 Triumph Renown that I was far too young to drive (my abiding memory is the taste of the hand straps in the back--a blend of leather and old elastic--because I used to chew them!) I have one faint memory of the 1936 Austin Ruby he sold in 1960.
