1985 - just passed my test (one of the first at sixth form). I'm embarrassed to say that mine was a Datsun 120Y. 1.2 liters, a claimed 70 horsepower, rear wheel driver, rampant rust, tail slides with even the slightest amount of water on the road ....
But the insurance on anything bigger/better was ridiculous. At the time, I wanted an Astra GTE, but that got screwed by semi-regular accidents, which completely screwed my chances of ever affording the insurance on a truly interesting, fast car.
