My first car (sort of) was a virtually unmarked blue Isetta 300 with chrome bumpers on the front and a white painted luggage rack on the back. I only have memories because I never thought to photograph it. I can't even remember the registration number.(PWC???) I would like to see it again if only to remind myself of how love is blind. At the age of 16, I was smitten!
It was the most unreliable contraption known to man. It would even break down before getting out of the drive! Usually it was something anyone else would regard as terminal but I would persevere against all the odds(against my Dad's advise) to get it going again. I would like to know if it survived but I wouldn't want to go through all that again ...but it made a man of me if nothing else!! |

No, I would not like my first car back as it was wrecked in 1959.
I sold it back to the same wrecker that I bought it from for two pounds ten shillings, half of what I had paid him for it a few months before.
It was a 1936 Morris 18hp sedan. I removed all the mudguards and running boards and painted it bright yellow then drove it around our small farm in Essex. Being still at school I was always broke, so whenever friends came around they had to chip in four and six pence for a gallon of petrol. Then we shared the driving for a frantic hour.
I ended up breaking a rear spring so it went back to the wrecker. Great days!

Its weird being the same age as old people.
You are either part of the problem or part of the solution |
