I'm already beat by my wife who found this:                                                                                  

That's her brother, now 60, in his state school uniform outside their council house.  The car was given to them by the owner of the local chip shop

I'm vaguely aware of a Morris Minor predecessor, an A something.  But the one I remember clearly was  a C reg Mk1 Cortina Estate.

That puts it at 1965 when I was 5

The first car I had was a standard 8 but the big ends went so sold it, had numerous cars but the one I wish I still had was a Wolsey 4/44 in black. A model used by the Police back in the day. The most sporty was an MGB GT hard top, to thirsty for my liking and trying to fit 2 kids in the back on a hard bench seat wasn't easy.
