My first car was a 1966 Anglia 1200 Super, it had a piece of wooden floor boarding stopping the drivers seat reclining through the floor, the MOT came via the phone, it had half an exhaust, and it contained so much filler if I'd have hit someone they would have died of asbestosis. I got it when I was 16 ready for my 17th birthday, lots of laughs in that little car.
If it looked as gorgeous as the one above I would still have it, although I don't like cages in non competition car........
