Well I learnt to drive in a 1966 Sunbeam Imp Sport with the unrestricted 875cc Coventry Climax engine.
After passing my test I managed to keep the head gasket intact but went through a couple of sets of 'doughnut' couplings before putting the final nail in the coffin and managing a 6 inch split straight down the gearbox....Oops.
Papa Doc, I drove around in a Wartburg for a while and that had the Universal 3 cylinder (3 coil) 2 stroke one litre engine. Can't remember having that much fun in it apart from laying smokescreens behind and missing the offset pedals once in a while!
Got into bikes for a while then. Now got a family and an oil burning Ford Mondeo!!!
