My first car, cost me £30 and I had to spend another 30 quid to have the chassis welded.

948cc, twin SU carbs, white hood, which I had recovered in black by The Car Hood Company.

I learnt a lot from that old banger - fiddling about with the carbs, tappets, and the Lucas 65D distributor.

Met up with a friend today for a meal - he has a 1982 TR7 convertible...cost much less than that, I''d much prefer that.

This is exactly like my first car! The rear ends were so light that you soon learned about opposite lock, especially in the wet. Rot underneath did for it pretty quickly but seeing this brings back many happy memories of being 17.

I don't think it had anything to do with a light rear end, but everything to do with swing axles. You never, ever lifted off going round a corner. If you did, the outside wheel would tuck under and throw you off the road.
