I got my first car...
...and it's an Opel!

A 1971 1.9 litre Opel GT to be exact, and I got it for a really good deal, Free! It was sitting in my friends neighbours yard, and we went over there one day, and he offered it to me! It was delivered to my house today, with the help of my friends. It has very low miles for the year, only 67,000.

Here are some pics.

Only 67K Miles!

1.9 litres of single-carb'd fury!

An excellent car, and even better as a first car.

Is it a runner?

Nice little thing! Is it valuable? Please look after it. I've seen a few mates get immaculate old cars as their first cars but they couldn't afford to maintain them and their conditions deteriorated rapidly. It is sad to see it happen.

Cool car, especially for a first time. Enjoy. As Truck' asks, does it need any work?

My first car was a Maestro. Which I loved, even though it had no street cred.

Matski has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Respect dude.

It ain't my bag, but I can respect the choice to buy what you really want - rather than what makes sense.

I bet people told you it was a bad idea to buy it? but you went ahead and did it anyway?
