What was your first ever motor?


What was your first ever Motor - mine was an old MKII ford escort it was gold in colour and called "Hi Ho" don;t ask why.
I had to put a blanket over the engine in the cold weather so it would start and turn the key pump the accelerator a few times then turn the key again. An art form in motion once in motion.

Re: What was your first ever motor?


I had an Austin A35 - remarkably like the one in this picture





No heater, but it did have indicator lights rather than little yellow lugs which came out from the sides between the front & back doors. The indicator switch was a huge clunky thing in the middle of the fascia.




Edit: forgot to add her name - Hettie!

Those were the days - when there were only about 20 different makes and models and they all had reasonably memorable names! Not like now.

A little Vauxhall Nova, 1000cc which did 0-60 in about as many minutes

I loved the little thing altho everytime you went round a right hand bend a bit quick the passenger door would fly open Luckily before I had Louise we changed the car

Re: What was your first ever motor?


a 1929 Morris 8. cost I think about £15 - OK, It was a long long time ago !! You couldn't have the headlights on and the windscreen wipers at the same time! Think we sold it for a profit and got a Morris 1000 Van instead. Logoes
