Bet you wish youy still had it :)
got my first car off my Dad, unfortunately it was a Lada :-[
-
Hmmm Yugo Zastava here, circa 1992 :o
-
I do wish I still had it, it was in mint condition.
Spec. inc. 4 doors, leather seats, sunroof, hydraulic brakes, ohv engine, independant front suspension (not bad for a pre. war car) , zenith carb and a starting handle.
Sparking plug gap was 37 thou.
It had a top speed of c.58 mph., would cruise all day at 40 - 45.
Used to, in those days, put 5 gallons of petrol in it, give the attendant £1, and say keep the change!

Aptly titled set of seats ;D ;D
Couldn't resist, i know the sort of thing you are referring to, they used to do them for the mini vans, it got round car tax as it was still classified as a van
My first car was a Mini, my first Vauxhall was a Mk2 Cavalier 1.6 GL in yellow...ahh happy days.
That had a jump seat as well ;) ;D
AA did your 10 have the chrome flutes up the bonnet and a sliding sunroof?

My first car was a Vx chevette 1.3
Carnt really remember much about it....except it was blue and i spent quite a bit of time sorting out the rust on it......no change there then ::)
-
My first vauxhall was a Mk1 cavalier, in lime green with a brown pin stripe and white wall tyres.
Other vauxhalls were, Chevette, Mk2 astra GTE, Mk3 cavalier, senator B , and of course an Omega :)
also had an opel kadett sri same as the Mk1 astra
-
Had to wait for a Mk2 escort van for a jump ;D
Always wanted a Chevette and then moved onto a Senator

So I'm not alone in stepping backwards to an Omega! :o ::) ;)

My first was a Ford Fiesta with an engine mount missing, couldn't get 1st gear, not good with less than 1000cc's! Used a gallon of oil a week, swapped it for a 2.3 Granada ;) & had 4 of them since, loved them until I got the Omega!

First was a £750 Rover 213S - apart from the rust a genuinely nice car to drive (reasonable gearbox, engine reasonably lively, good sense of what the car was up to through the steering wheel). Drove that into the ground, got £10 from the scrappers in the end.
Then a £900 Cavalier 1.6 LS, drove that into the ground (think it needed too much welding in the end) - same end solution - walking out of the scrappers with a tenner. Loved the car so much that I bought...
... A £1500 Cavalier 2.0 LS Eco, last of the 95's, drove that until it was getting a little long in the tooth, and the wedding plans indicated I had a few grand to spare. Sold the car for £150...
... no more Cavaliers being made?, had to be an Omega then. And in all likelyhood, in the year and a bit I've owned it, it's probably depreciated more than the overall costs of the previous three cars rolled into one.

Tidy. :)
