The first car you remember, pictures optional

My Uncle Bill's Austin A40. It was so small in the back that I had to put my boney arse on the wheel arch that intruded onto the back seat. I was small in those days, had to stand twice in the sun to cast a shadow.

Triumph 2000, I can still remember my Dad spending ages cleaning it before we went on holiday.

That was very similar to the first car I can remember being driven in but badged as a Cortina though. I got taken home from nursery in it (so must have been about 3-4) by a family friend. I remember the 'huge' dashboard and excitedly telling my Mum I'd been in a Cortina. I was crackers about cars (still am I guess).

Around the same time my uncle had a green MGB GT which my cousin and I could sit on the 'back seat' together (which shows how young we must have been). It was a 1965 C plate as I asked him about it a few years ago, so must have been one of the first GTs.

Only just realised that's a Consul, not a Cortina
This is the Cortina, slightly different grill
