Ignore everyone else in this thread. Vw lupo 1.0 or the 1.7 diesel, you'll get one for about £1k, cracking little cars, cool as fuck too.
Or a mid-to-late 90s vw polo saloon, cheap and cheerful, and also cool as fuck as its a vw.

When I was 17/18 I got myself a 14 year old 1.1 Mark II Fiesta for £300. Low insurance group, lasted two years, passed two MOTs. You have to start with a banger, and Fiestas are the most reliable bangers in the world.
N.B. That was 8 years ago. Although that only makes me 25, I feel very old typing that.

Don't worry Doore.....your Fiesta was probably just coming off the production line at the time I got my first car, a Mini (1975 Mini Clubman) in a sort of "Army" green colour.....ace car! |

The heater exploded in my escort - hot steam in the dash.

Ford Transit LWB twin rear wheel.
2 litre petrol.
Great for carting motorbikes around in and for sleeping in at concerts and weekends away.

My mate's first car was a Vauxhall Chevette; when he turned the heater on there was an aroma of Chicken Madras  |
