Do you remember your parents first car?

My parents first car was a Jowett - registration ABC 85. I remember that it had problems going up steep hills and would often stop half way up!

Lovely car the Jowett and built in Yorkshire in Leeds. The design was well before it’s time Margaret, and surprisingly, they are still a much sought after car by the classic car petrol heads.

We thought it was a great car, the first time our family had owned one. My dad polished it nearly every day, he was so proud of his ‘new’ car. It even had a crank handle if I remember correctly. I didn’t know that they were built in Yorkshire. I think I was about 12 years old when dad bought it.
