Cyker 388 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 ... and for what car?Mine was £1300 for a '51-plate Ford Fiesta. I thought that was a lot until I read £2500 for an Aygo in another threat! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MikeSh 50 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 It would have been for an Austin 1100. But it was about 1969 and I haven't the faintest idea how much it was. Probably about £15/10s/6d 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Raistlin 465 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 My first car was an escort mark 1 1300 E which at 21 cost me more than the car to insure. On reflection not my finest hour but boy could it move... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FROSTYBALLS 3,342 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Cannot remember what my first insurance cost - but my first salary was £921 per annum, so my first insurance couldn't have been too much. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oakridge 5 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I cannot remember the figure for insurance but in 1963 we bought a car (a 1934 Hillman Minx), paid for insurance, eight lessons and the test for £50.http://www.flickr.com/photos/norwichhouse-oakridge/4476114618/in/set-72157622367220088 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oakridge 5 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I forgot to mention that the deal was an engagement ring or a car, she chose the car. The Prius is our 16th car. We have been married for 48 years. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
