A 1983 Talbot Horizon - it drove forwards and backwards, that's probably all I can say about it compared to my current 7 air bag, pre-tensioning force limiter seatbelt, all-in-one satnav, stereo, car computer, reversing camera equipped car.

My Mum's Rover 90[^] Gawd but that was a pig to drive when I was 12! Heavy steering or what? But the first car I owned was a Lancia Beta HPE 2000[^] Which was an education...in so many ways. :sigh:

Oddly a Ford Transit Van. When I was 14. I almost rolled it in a tight turn and I wasn't allowed to drive it after that. No, we weren't on the public highways!

I'm guessing not to buy Lancias, or the need to better avoid puddles :)

That and more: that you should never assume that all cars of a certain make, model, year, and specification will share common components: Lancia fitted whatever came to hand. Trying to replace the distributor cap the first time... :sigh:
