The first (company issued) “new” car I had was a 1978 Vauxhall Cavalier Mk1. Base model in flat custard yellow with a sort of tweedy tan and black interior. 1600ccs of pure nothing, 4 speed box and no radio.
However, despite all that, I loved it. It was way better than any of the old clunkers I’d had before. Even felt quite fast by my standards of the time. Now of course I’m certain it would be at best, disappointing to drive.
Edit- oh yes, the indicator stalk fell off within a week of having it!
