My earliest car memory was a brown Cortina estate, but I can't remember which one. I *think* it was a mk3, but I could be wrong. I don't remember what came next, but as family cars I remember us having a silver Bedford Midi, a gold/beige Nissan Prairie, a blue Vauxhall Midi (my family had four kids, so multi-seater's were the name of the game, especially with family holidays around the UK). I remember my dad having a silver Rover 21x - the angular, boxy one (google suggests the 213 84-89 model, although I'm sure it was a 214), as well as a platinum Vauxhall Cavalier (mk3, no idea what engine), and he also had a mk1 Fiat Uno Turbo. Because of that, both my older brother and I had Uno's as our first cars (actually, my brother had two Uno's as his first car - I say first, as he wrote the white one off in less than 12 hours after passing his test, and the bought a black one to replace it. Incidentally, my dads one was white, so was mine - although neither my brother or I had a turbo model). My mum later had another Prairi, since she loved the first one, and then a Renault Megane Sceneic and now a Vauxhall Meriva. Even though she no longer has kids to ferry about, she still likes a people carrier, mainly for the elevated sitting height as she's only dinky.

Nothing!
First car in the family was my mini 850 that I had aged 17 and used to drive to school occasionally. Handy for the "social" life!
My parents both learned to drive after I did.....

The E type is still registered and the Cossie is sorn, not sure about the rest.
Tried to find the RS1600 but had no luck - meant to have gone to Ireland. It was a development car for a tuning company before he bought it.
