I passed in a 2016 Vauxhall Corsa (my instructors car) on the 4th of April 2018 car wasn't so bad to drive, seats were a tad uncomfortable though

I passed in 2000 driving my instructors brand new ford focus millennium edition (yes the one that makes flying banana look subdued!) I didn't feel at all self conscious learning in that nooooo

I passed my test in my father's 1950's Morris Cowley in 1966 reg no GSD 119. Our next car was a Vauxhall Victor with a dashboard that jutted out. When you exited the car you cracked your knee bone on the dash. Reg No 424 BGD

Passed test in March 1974 in a Fiat 850. A 1966 reg - D plate. Can vaguely remember reg number but not 100% certain!

Toyota Corolla in 1980's. Instructor had the clutch changed the day before my test. Stalled it 4 times but still passed. Clutch had done 80,000 miles, not bad for a first clutch in a learner vehicle!

Passed my test in a Sierra Cosworth. And that wasn't my fastest or most powerful either that was my Rover 800 abet modified by the Embassy I got it from pushing 365bhp and armoured still had the lights in . Only done 7-8 miles to the gallon if I was good.

I passed my driving test in a Triumph Herald in 1964.

In 1972, with my Innocenti Mini Cooper with wide wheels and a very noisy
exhaust.

Austin 1100 in 1965 at the second attempt. Had all my lessons in that car too. A green shield stamp (remember them?) was strategically stuck on the rear window by the instructor so that when reversing if the stamp was lined up with the kerb then the car was the correct distance from it; made reversing round the corner that you had to do then a doddle.
