I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

My vehicle has just gone to the great scrapyard in the sky.
M reg Microwave, 118,000 on the clock, doesn't owe me anything.
First vehicle was a Lambretta 125.
First car was a Morris Minor (older than me), cost me £10.

Taken on my 50th birthday, found a moped in a museum of the same model I had at 16 (Honda Graduate) first time I'd seen one for years (although there was one on ebay recently.) Sadly the motorbike age limit went up from 16 to 17 before I was old enough and the new sporty mopeds were beyond my wallet.

18 year old A35 I had at 18. Was grey before I hand painted it. B/w photo doesn't do justice to the orange wheels & bumpers. Later has large Magic Roundabout stickers added. Students!

For Lambretta fans, go along to Matlock Bath in August for the annual Beat The Bikers rally. Here's my video from last year.

Another car I had - around 1970 I think. It was my dads, but I borrowed it so often, he made me buy it off him... LOL

Was your Prefect the 3 speed side valve 100E variant, or the later 107E?

Dad had the 3 speed, I had the 107E which blew up on the M1 coming back from University.  Then got a 105E with the slopng back window.

It was the one that had the Anglia engine, so I suppose it was the 107E - can't really remember it much.
