Ford 100E


This was my first car and as usual I rushed into buying. I don't even think I test drove it - maybe had a spin around the block with the owner driving. Ilford, Essex - just by the train station - down that road - you know....

It cost forty five quid and then a further twenty seven to insure it for three months. It was nicknamed the "sluggard" and for quite a few months it was an adventure, and an education.

The car was nearly as old as me, I think 1959 was its birth year, 1976 was going to be its last....
