NSU Quickly. 50cc. I passed my test on this in 1960 when I started as research student at Reading
TOP

The day that I passed my test on my NSU quickly I bought this 1956 BSA. I didn't get out of 2nd gear for 3 weeks. Top speed about 85mph. I had a vertical windshield on it. During the 2 years I had it I replaced the complete wiring loom and rebuilt part of engine [big ends etc]. The most memorable trip was to Portugal with David Ingleby

Vauxhall 14 [1939]

My first car. I learned to drive in this, helped especially by Susan Hill. We drove thousands of miles, including family holidays to Scotland. Its big end went as we did 70 mph down a hill on way from Portishead to Reading

Bought for £15 in 1965

Vauxhall 14, 6-cyl. OHV - 1781cc - 48hp: Mine had cable brakes.

TOP

Rover 14 1947. 2 litre, straight 6. Some synchromesh. Rod brakes. Free wheel.

I bought this for £2 in about 1966

The Autocar Road Test. Note that the 1947 model was same as prewar 1938 model TOP

The Rover 90 [P4]. 1956. 2638cc straight 6. The car could achieve 85 mph. Laycock-de-Normanville overdrive. I bought it at the end of my time in Reading when i moved to Sheffield. Its luxurious interior made it perfect from my regular drives between Sheffield and Watford, Portishead and Reading

Ford Cortina MkI Estate 1966. Bought in about 1968 when Rover 90 needed a new exhaust [£275]


Cortina MkIII Estate. 2 litre. This pic is my colour. This estate was said to be largest sports car in UK

Ford Sierra Estate A beautiful car but it rusted very quickly. TOP
