2nd hand red F reg Ford fiesta mark 2, would have been about 7 years old when got in 1995, I understand the petrol tank on it was the same size as a Granada petrol tank, and all you could smell was petrol once you filled the tank fully. Good first car as it did its job for about 5 years before the rust won.

Respect...I didn't get my first car untill I was 21.
Moskavitch!! Mustard yellow made of 1/4 inch plate, bulletproof and nuke proof...good old Ruskies.
2nd Car a 2 year old silver Fiat 127, that was the newest car and the envy of all my mates! Even had a radio that worked!

I've driven a Moskvitch, the old one with the column gear change. My Father-in-Law tried the Sheffield concession for them very briefly alongside Wartburg and Lada. Nobody was daft enough to buy the former two (present company excepted) so he settled on the Lada dealership.
I was sort of forced into buying it from my uncle, paid £400 for it drove it into the ground for 18 months, then got £400 part chop for the fiat...all in all not bad, but wouldn't have been my first choice, although the registration plate of BRA 98L was pretty cool at the time
For a couple of months. A Citroen AX. The first car I owned properly was a 1993 Nissan Micra. Bought it, needed a new clutch about 3 weeks later. Kept it two years and had all kinds of electrical faults with it. One particular one was that when you went from side lights to normal, the right headlight turned off. Next car was a 99 Fiesta Zetec that I really liked. Gone up the car ladder ever since.
