MK2 Astra (C Reg). Got it in 97 when I was 17. Paid £200 for it and it lasted 2 years. Needed a new clutch, petrol gauge didn't really work so ran out about 3 times and the rear arches were black hamerite where it had been welded then painted.

Great car....until I realised oil was required and the engine seized.  :ashamed:

Not mine either - but fairly similar, albeit mines was 3 door.

followed by 1 1991 1.8 Citigolf Sport with aircon which worked a treat. Loved those cars, great handling, honest, quick and so easy to work on, unlike today's Golf's.

Mk3 Ford Escort 1.3GL W Reg.  Dark metallic green with tan interior.  £695 back in 1992.  I'm sure it was £600 a year insurance for 3rd party fire & theft.  I don't insurance for 17 year olds is any worse now than 20 years ago given inflation.

My first car was a 1990 Mk2 Golf 1.6 CL in Navy Blue. Great car that never left us on the side of the road.

Pretty much like this (not actual car):

Well actually it was my dad's car which I shared for 3-4 years, so technically the GTI is 'my' first car :happy2:
