fiat uno 1.3 70s 
although technically that was not the first car i owned as I restored a mini clubman that i got for my 16th birthday but it wasnt ready for when i passed my test so Dad gave me his old fiat uno that had been standing around for a few years, used it for 6 months then swappedover to the mini.

I added a set of spotlights, XR2 steels and painted the hubcaps black then added a pair of bright green Ford ovals. Oh the shame

Testing the future
metallic blue 4 door mk2 escort 1.3 - changed the engine to a 1.1 to get lower insurance. that was the start of a slippery slope of modifying rwd fords that i may not be totally over yet

my first car was a 1.1 escort with a 1.6 in it 4 speed box. with S1 kit .
bought it for £500 then went and bought some S1 wheels and seat and the stripe kit and put it all together one weekend . all my other mates drove and i was 23/24 never done my test , so i insured it as a learner and whacked the L plates on it and went out hacking in it with my mates witting next to me . i remember getting some strange looks from people thinking i was learning to drive in a S1 lol .
82 cars later , and id still have a real S1 . love them !!

Mine was peugeot 306 - And i loved her so much :3.
But it wasnt quite my "first" car cuz it was left to me by my mom. And it was in absolutely bad condition. And first car i bought using my own money was ford escort mk3. I have him only 1 month and i am really confused what to do with him.
