Mine was a 1972 Mk1 Escort estate for the grand sum of £200 as a birthday present from my parents.
£200 was decent money in those days right?
My first car was a orangy red Hillman Avenger which I bought for £50 in 1981? I think it brew up inside a month as it had no oil and water in it

I wouldn't want it but I'll have a Hillman Imp thank you very much
