My first car was a white Vauxhall Chevette 2 door hatch back. It was a P reg so I think 1976? Bought from Patcham Car Sales just of the London Road for £995 in 1984
Had the "Pulp Fiction" Honda Civic W reg........................
parked it near Hove park once and went to the ground,came back after the game and the gear knob was in the glove box,wipers put up in the air and the blades left in the boot along with the hub caps,and the lights were left on flashing...
Purchased of a mate,who happened to be playing footie nearby and they had spotted it there,it was easy to get in to........buggers!!
1963 Austin A40 - bought it for £60 of a policeman thinking it would be safe and legal - it was the most dangerous old wreck I have ever bought - never trust a policeman !!!!
