Yvonne Kelly’s First Car ….

A MINI very similar to Yvonne's first car

A MINI very similar to Yvonne’s first car

What was your first car?
A 16 year old white mini that I bought  from a mini dealer in Kildare,

Why did you buy it?
I was 23 yrs just passed my test, feeling on top of the world

What was it like?
The car was beautiful, no smell of newness though! It had brown upholstery, and clips on the bonnet to hold it down

How did it change your life?
It served me very well. I drove it for 4 yrs  and had bought it £400,  the insurance was £600 and I loved it.

What was your worst moment with the car?
The radiator went on me. I used to put an egg in to it to seal it and you could still drive it but not forever so  I was sad to see it go when it had to be scrapped.

What do  you drive now?
Today I’m the proud owner of Rolls,,,, (sandwich!)
