This England Magazine Spring 2015 Back Issue

These days many of us take our cars for granted, but whatever model we now drive we never forget our first experiences behind the wheel and the car that introduced us to the freedom of the open road. After asking readers to send us details of their first cars we have been inundated with wonderful memories and snapshots, so a two-page feature in the spring issue looks like turning into a regular series. Among the entertaining anecdotes is one from a lady whose beloved 1929 MG had a squeezy horn she was unable to work, forcing her to call out “Excuse me!” to anyone in the way! The stories about an Austin Seven, Triumph Herald, Fiat 500 and Austin Metropolitan are equally amusing and take us back to a time when road travel was very different from today.
