You might be surprised :D

I've got some engine and performance mods to carry out... ;) but it'll look stock to a casual observer 8)
 
YVU246T - a 78 devon camper in Marino Yellow, anyone seen or heard of it recently? Was green the last time I saw it.

Second was a LHD ragtop 62 beetle - CAS527
Third was a ragtop 56 LHD Oval on a 67 semi-auto RHD floorpan - SGOXXXF (cant remember the numbers)
Both were imported by me from Hungary - found on a whim during a family holiday in the camper!!
 
I won't bore you with the 2 chevettes,3 Cavalier mk2's 2 Granda mk2's,Peougoet 405,2 Vectra's. I'll just show you the VW's - BTJ336J my first bug all those years ago, I saw it parked up a drive and put a note on the windscreen.got it for £50 and it started after being stood for 4 years - amazing - That was it then - HOOKED!! it was too far gone to be MOT'd but it gave me good grounding in playing with VW's! here's me, much younger with my first bug............

I know you said 'first' car but I couldn't resist!!
 
Mini first, then a datsun 120Y (don't ask why) this was then followed by numerous minis, an ital( :?: ), loads of company cars, lots of golf gti's. our favourite a friend brought of us when we moved house as it was going to be sat outside (1987 karman Cabrio which still only has 66K on the clock). Our first aircooled was the bus 3 years ago, since then a beetle (donor) and a GP beach buggy tub. Sadly the last two have gone as the Mrs was moaning about the raised pond in the middle of the front garden :lol: :lol:
 
My 1st ever car was a Mk1 Ford Fiesta 1.1L which i had for about a month and since then i've lost count of what i've had or how long i've had them.
All i know is that since May 2005 (not including the camper) i am on my 12th Daily!
 
My 1st Car was a 74 MK1 Escort 1300L.
Paid 80 quid in 1992 8) .
Wish i could afford one now :(
 
Fiat 126, noisy lil baswart it was too. Then a metro, then got into Clios with the first being a tuned Williams that went like **** of a stick, then a 197, had a chance to get a V6 but it was too fast. Then i saw the light 8)
