My first car bought in 1974 was a 1963 "Austin 7" . . . just like this one. Colour scheme was exactly the same.
Sliding front windows
External hinges
Battery in boot
Push-button start (on floor)
Rubber Cone suspension
E-W 850cc 4-cyl engine, upgraded with side-draft weber, mini-cooper extractors. Suprisingly nippy.
I already put this on another thread...but since you asked...
65' Triumph Herald convertable....first car (my baby)
Glander...one of my ex boyfriends used to have a 1947 Chevrolet Fleetmaster sedan....Like driving a tank! Very bouncy seats...hee hee
sizemik....minis are such little fun machines...
1974 White Mustang, two door car, I was appointed MS anyway while I had that car.
LOL White Dove...I'll give you some company...1975 Ford Gran Torino, 4 door. Similar story, in the family many years, passed down to me when I was 19. Drove it for a couple years...great years. This thing sat in -35 celsius (-31 F) for a week and started up just fine, without the block heater plugged in.
Here's the beaut, but she had a blue top...
Mine's older and I still own it.
well, I have a 1987 Nissan Pathfinder I bought at a yard sale a few months ago. 4-wheel drive with giant mud wheels. Will be great for the snow. The mechanic says we can keep it running forever. I think he's talking about the engine. The body is uh, well let's say it's, uh don't know how to describe it except to say that the last owner used it for off-road tours through the forest.
Oldest running cars have all been 1960s...
