QotD: my first car

What was your first car?

That was a 1977 Triumph Toledo 1500 (a 1500 was indeed offered in New Zealand). Meaty car: it had a lot of pulling power. But it was laboured with an unfortunate colour which British Leyland called Bitter Apricot. It was a shame to see it go because I worked on that car like crazy. It’s probably worth zero now if I had held on to it, but I loved that wooden dashboard and it wasn’t even that bad to drive.
   Incidentally, this QotD seems awfully familiar. Have we had it before?

With only 1500 offered, did you feel special?

Not production numbers, Xmangerm, but cubic centimetres. I wonder if they even sold 1,500 though!
