After my Ford Anglia came a 1959 VW Camper van complete with hippy flower paint job (it was the 70s after all) It had a habit of ejecting the steel
hubcaps when undergoing 'spirited' cornering - they used to fly off like frisbees with a loud BOING! 
Cheers,

I had a mk2 Escort at 15 yr old that never saw the road. Next car was a Mini 850 deluxe. I loved that car. Reliable - No. Pretty - big no. There is
something about sharing your new found freedom with a mini - it stays with you for a lifetime. If i could find it id buy it back or at least want the
plate - TBR 19V. I sadly think it is long gone.
How do you go about finding out if a plate is still in circulation?
After the Mini i had 2 Triumph Acclaims. Not a nice car by any stds but compared to the mini was luxurious and fast. After that was a succession of
BMW's. I blame this route for my lack of learning with carb'd engines. Ive missed out on the usual ford cars and all the experience they
bring.

You can see the DVLA database here:
http://www.vehiclelicence.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/
The vehicle details for TBR 19V are:

Year of Manufacture 1979
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 848CC
CO2 Emissions Not Available

So still unscrapped (officially), but either SORN or forgotten somewhere.

I had a 1981 Trabant 601...
600cc and 26 BHP. If you learned to drive the thing and keep up with the traffic, you could drive anything...

my first car
I had a Frisky three wheeler ( two at front ). It had a villiers 197 engine which had a dynastart ignition which allowed you to stop the engine and
restart it running backwards giving you four speeds in reverse. Bike engined cars ?Ha beat you all by years. I wonder if I can get the zx9 to run
backwards?
Ater that I swapped my BSA Road Rocket for a Triumph Herald which is when I learned all about rust .
AH The good old days.
Regards Kipper.

1982 escort 1300 cvh.
First thing I did was put shortened suspensions spring and change steering wheel. I had lot of fun with that car not only for the car but also for
youth related. You know what I mean ... 
Sorry about my English
