The Datsun Cherry, later to become the rolls Royce of the mini cab trade👍

Isn't that a Dasun Sunny?

 

[HampshireHog]

A 1977 Silver VW Polo didn’t even have an FM radio.

 

[Lump]

1.5 Diesel Clio.

 

[pendodave]

MK1 fiesta

 

[srixon 1]

Triumph Dolomite in 1981.

Really can't remember, some sort of Escort in 77

Vauxhall Viva the instructors car.

The clutch in it was awful (I had driven for years before taking a test and new what a good clutch was like)

I semi stalled on the hill start, turned round to the examiner and said " that was awful , can I do it again" "yes" he said and passed.

My first test was in 'coke bottle' Cortina, I had never had lessons, having driven for years and failed miserably. It made me go to a driving school and learn how to pass a driving test.

1986 Nissan Micra

1983 Datsun Sunny.

A Talbot Samba. Small and easy to drive but it had the annoying habit of jumping out of 1st into neutral when trying to pull away

Citroen Saxo

Horrendous little thing

A Vauxhall Viva. I worked for BT in the 70’s, and they paid for a 2 week driving course with a test at the end of it. I’d had my full bike licence for a couple of years by then, and had ridden on a provisional for a couple of years before then. For me it was about learning to drive a car. My roadcraft was already ingrained.

Exactly the same with the Post Office.

 

[Kellfire]

Mum’s red 1994 Ford Fiesta with a 1.8L normally aspirated diesel engine and no power steering.

0 - 60 took about 20 seconds. The engine was so heavy that you could barely turn it at low speeds.

Loved that tank.

L reg Blue Citroen AX, horrible motors.

 

[Robin Hood]

Can't remember what the car was. It was in Banbury in 1980, and I remember rolling backwards on my hill start as I hadn't put it in gear !
Still passed - it was my second test.

 

[bobmac]

Volvo 122s with overdrive.

 

[user2010]

Hyundai Pony, and it was!

 

[Paperboy]

Vauxhall Corsa in 1998.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Exactly the same with the Post Office.

Alan Johnson MP, ex cabinet minister, says that passing his PO driving test was a big motivator for him. Have you read his autobiography [trilogy] good reading.

Me a posh Mazda in the 1970's

Passed test in my Capri. Not sure it helped taking test in a boy racer.
