First thing with an engine was a Raleigh Moped (I was 11) given me by an uncle to ride round the lock up garages where dad kept his car. Aged around 13 I was allowed to drive the family Ford Y model up and down a relatives farm track. Around 17 I was allowed to bring the lorries in from the yard to the workshop as it was private ground, 2.5 Ton Leyland FG bread vans. Never took a car test until I was 20. My first ‘real’ vehicle was a Ford Corsair 2000E.
