I had a 1971 mini fitted with a 1300gt austin engine and a big bore exhaust, it was so loud that I had to pull over to hear the passenger. Ah happy days.

Big wagon for a first car but did the job superbly.

I sold it when it had 170k miles on, not bad for a 1989 French petrol engine!

Mine was a 1972 Fiat 127 bought fro £15. It was a LHD - brought back the by the cousin of a friend from France after he'd missed a train returning to the UK. With a new clutch and MOT it took me through 4 years of University.

I've never been without a Fiat in my 'fleet' since.

Mine was a 1994 EG6 Civic and I loved it!

I put over 30,000 miles on it in the year or so I had it, great first car. In that time it never put a foot wrong, it was driven everywhere, snow, ice you name it.

It also opened up my eyes to the world of modding and Japanese cars.

In the end it got written off but it wasn't my fault and the other drivers insurance paid out. After loosing the civic, all I wanted was another Honda, so off I went and bought a S2000.
