Have I written that wrong, then? I mean sixteen thousand pounds. Is that not £16K?

 

I've had a glass of vino, so may be missing the obvious :lol:

1972 VW Beetle cost me £300, then spent an absolute fortune on new engine, chrome work, wielding floor pans, stereo, heating, seats......all paid for by my waitressing job when I was 17 :)

 

Edit: I didn't actually buy it in 1972, before you all assume I'm 60!

£9k

 

 

Your first car stu?

 

£400 ford escort estate ..... 3 door ! Oh yes what a beast :)

 

First car I bought. I was gifted a Renault Clio 1.2 as a youth when my Mum moved to France, but as that was free, it didn't really count.

Is that how much they were on a Y plate? :scare:

In 1.8D Zetec spec, yup! Think I had a couple of option packs too like aircon and heated front screen, but it was definitely around that mark. Still a great car.

1.7D 'Breeze'... there was bugger all breezy about its performance.... £900. Got rid of it for 700 after 6 months. I said I'd never get a Corsa...hateful faded red little thing.... but at the time I was struggling and even nearly bought a bright orange Fiat Seicento...the horror.

A 4 year old MiniVan , FDM 319C. I sold my lambretta for £60 and my dad gave me the other £100, so £160. My dad's friend was a salesman at a well known auction house in Queensferry and they'd taken the minivan in part exchange, one previous owner, 32k on the clock.

I can`t remember how much but it was a Morris 1300 which was quite old when I got it back in 1979 so not very much I suspect, although, I do remember it did seem a lot at the time.
