Hunting through some old paperwork this morning I found the following invoice:
'One second hand Morris Minor as seen, tried and approved.
£40. 0. 0. + £3. .0 .0 for work carried out to pass MOT inspection.

My first car was a pale blue Austin 1100 I bought it in late 1970 and it cost me £100 taxed MOTd and ready for the road.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Mine was a motercycle which I bought for £100 in about 1978 and sold five years later for.. £150!
Awwww.... I passed my driving test in a new Morris 1100, Dove.
Driving lessons were £5 for a double lesson. 
Had lots of motor cycles, Bob....think the first one was a BSA A7 500cc twin (1959) costing around £300.
£45 for a Standard 10 de luxe in 1970. V proud, only car I have ever owned, remember insisting everyone knew it was de luxe!
No idea what OH paid for his first car and I didn't take a test til I was 30 and we moved to the outskirts of London with no more tubes and buses everywhere.
Possum has just got her first car. In Belgium learners must first pass a theory test then either have a minimum number of hours with a fully licensed driver - parent or friend - or pay for 20 hours with a driving school at €2000 which we had to do as both our cars are automatics.
Then they take a driving test of sorts. She now has a provisional license and can drive on her own but not after 10pm and not on Saturdays and public holidays. We have bought her a tank - Toyota Corolla - €1750 - with a good engine and sturdy bodywork and manual gearbox and I am no longer a taxi - except on Saturdays.

I got mine free when I was 18 . My grandad bought it (Black morris minor deluxe with grey leather seats but no seat belts) when I was three months old. He only used it in the summer, the rest of the year he used his business volkswagon van. So when I got it it had less than 50, 000 miles on the clock. I used it for five years, then when I got a company car, my brother had it. He took out the 948 cc engine and put an 1100 in. He got quite adept at changing engines, gear boxes, and a back axle. He had it for another four years. We found the original receipt. £504.
Mine was a Ford Fiesta in 1989 for £4695 in radiant red, which faded to a dull orange. Lovely car.
I've never owned a car but my first motorbike cost £5.00 (pre MOT days) and I got a nice boyfriend to restore it for me.
If you live in Derbyshire, as I do.
Not sure what year it was, but I do remember (in my teens) having an 'NSU Quickly'...49cc & German made. Anyone remember those?
