At 17 I learned in my dad's Volvo 244. Also had about half a dozen lessons in a BSM Mini. I was due to take my test in the Mini but on the morning of my test the instructor had phoned in sick so BSM arranged an alternative car which was a Mk1 Escort which I'd never previously driven but by comparison to the Volvo I had also become used to it wasn't too daunting. Stalled it once but still managed to pass.
I'm fairly sure it's more difficult to pass the test now though.
