My first car as a young 19 year old lad in 1969 was a previously owned 1961 Jaguar Mark X. I learned a lot about the excentricities of British cars and loved it and within two years had my first brand new car...a 1971 MG GT. My daily driver now is a 2000 something North American Slug but I keep my sanity (and my so called "youth" through a recently acuired 1972 MG. If it's not running when I die, I'll request to be buried in it. Cheers from British Colkumbia, CANADA (ex Montreal Quebec)

...my first car was a Ford Capri, which was loosely based on the Ford Mustang, but not as powerful(1600). My sister owned a Triumph Spitfire which was similar(or looked similar) to your MG. Anyway, thanks for your comments, best wishes from ye olde England and happy driving.

a ford capri would not pull a damp stick out of a donkeys ass

@grumpywine I'm recapturing my british roots with a 1980 Mini Clubman Estate.
