[Travel] *How LONG have you had your CAR ? *

Ernest said:

I've had my CAR over 50 years now, I bought a BRAND new A40 Dark BLUE model in 1965, 26th June in fact from my PAL Norman in Worthing and it has done me a TURN ever since , as we are both getting on in YEARS now I only USE it to TOOTLE along to the CLIFTONVILLE and back when it's cold or wet and I don't want to go on my TRICYCLE.

In fact it was such a bargain I wondered if it had been STOLEN but Norman had the log book and RECEIPT so it was KOSHER and well worth EVERY penny I paid for it. I can't believe how LUCKY I was to get such a SUPERB car.

Has anyone had their car LONGER than ME

No, I can't claim to have owned anything for that long but the A40 was a great little car, the first true hatchback. I just had a look on the Classic Cars website and there are two on there in good condition going for £13750 and £11950! What's yours like Ernest, got any photos? Are you interested in selling? If so please let me know.
