I pass my driving test in a green GPO telephone morris 1000 van.In those days the GPO had there own examiners,we had a weeks driving course and the test at the end of the week .So i got paid to learn to drive.There was 3 seats in the van,so two learners took it it turns.Every day we went somewhere different,Statford upon avon ,Wales and the south coast.my test was on a friday morning at 9 oclock in Birmingham city centre.I did have one private lesson in a brand new truimph herald.

HI Podge, i was thinking about the a40 the other day was it the first hatch back?

Passed mine in my 1600 GT Capri, even though when the examiner asked me to do an emergency stop on a road covered in 3" of sand at 30mph with inevitable results.
Car went sideways and I thought, well I've failed and just drove round the rest of the test just wishing it was over.

Could have knocked me down with a feather when he said I'd passed.

Afterwards told me he was impressed with how I correctly handled the skid.
