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

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!

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.
