I learned to drive in a morris mini. What a great little car.
Boot like a handbag, sliding windows 😅
No radio, no carpet pull down cord to open door.
Everybody loved them.
Very long Gear stick that wobbled into Every gear. Turn up tin roof gutters.
Loved that car.
Rusted in about 2 weeks from new 😬
Loved that 🚗

U - Mini - I learned to drive in one, and passed my test in it too. Scratch your backside on the cats' eyes 😆
A - Austin 35, last time I visited my Dad, he was driving one he had procured from somewhere, probably long sold on by now.
T - Ford Anglia.
Surprised not to see one of these:

Think engine in back 🤔
Nah, in the front
A posh mini 😂
@TallTrees I can name every one of those cars and had a fair few myself
I served my apprenticeship as a motor mechanic in the 60's and during my 25 years 'on the tools' I can honestly say I have worked on or taken apart and rebuilt all of them
My first car was a 1955 Ford Popular followed by a 1959 Mini
I've also had the misfortune to have worked on and driven these :-
@pgn Our work parts van was an Imp Van which superseded a Hillman Minx Van
Yes it was a Rootes dealership....
