Brit Chit Chat #16 – July 2021

 

We continue to ask, what was the first British car you ever owned?

 

Send your answer (with a photo, if you have one) to this email address:

If you do NOT have a photo of your original British car, find a photo on the Internet that looks similar and we will post it with the following comment: “This is NOT a photo of my original British car but my car did look similar”

 

We currently have 23 submissions, which are listed in the sub-section that is below Brit Chit Chat #13
