A blue Maestro. Never was a car so inaptly named. Was living in London at the time and bought it from the car lot in Acton where they later filmed Arthur Daley's showroom in that re-vamped series of Minder, with the guy who wasn't Dennis Waterman. Quite apt really as it conked out as I drove off, then a few months later after a trip to Bolton it ended up residing for ages on the drive of me old mum's in Daisy Hill after the fan belt pulled the water pump off and it would only go in 3rd or reverse. Shite.

Mate of mine had one that used more oil than petrol.

That was your first car??  Wowsers.  Imagine how much it'd be worth now.

Bought it from an old school mate. No idea how much. I was 25 so no real “young driver” insurance to suffer. That said, I don’t think that was an issue the insurance companies had sussed out yet.
