MY LIFE IN CARS
Tiff Needell
My family car as a boy was...
An Austin 7. Growing up in the relatively austere ’50s, our first family cars were a series of 20-year-old Austin 7s at £10 a go. We eventually traded up to an Austin A30 before the best of all – the Morris 1000. It was in the Morris that I learned to drive and learned to drift round wet roundabouts.
My first ever road car was...
A Morris 1000 Traveller, inset, bought from an advert in Exchange & Mart on a wet night, mainly because the price was exactly the £75 I had to spend. Lesson learned, you don’t see the rust in the dark.
