I can't remember what colour it was to be honest.
I first started to drive when I was about 17/18 in a Mini, my first husband used to borrow his brother's car to visit me when we were first courting, I lived in Nottingham and he lived in Loughborough.
It was the mid-70s when I used some compensation money I'd got and started to have lessons. Just before my test was due the instructor got a new car but it had quite a fierce glutch so I cancelled the test until I was used to the car but they said I didn't give them enough time and had to forfeit my fee.
That was it, I just packed up, I couldn't afford to spend any more on it so never drove again. I often regretted it later on but I wouldn't want to drive these days.
