12 yr old with a Jaaaag!

[Great Pretender]

I had a Raleigh Wildcat at 12

[OllieWinchester]

I bought a £30 Mk2 Fiesta when I was 14.



I'd say your car was cooler...

[fabienne]

Great car and good shots of the car thank you.

Not sure I could have afforded to change the spark plugs at that age, or seen the point in doing so?! Looks great for £170 though.

I have to say that im impressed! Good work, when i was 12 i was only just changing inner tubes on my mtb! Also im 20 and still don't have a jaguar .

Pocket money. Birthday money. Chores. Car washing etc. Not buying other superfluous stuff.

A great example of saving patiently and reaping the rewards.

I used to get 10p for pocket money a week. I'd have been waiting a while.

but back then you could get a brand new car for 170.00

TBH I have no idea how much a basic new car cost in 1985.

Well on or about then, the RR Carmargue was the most expensive new car you could buy, at £83,122. And IIRC, the Fiat 126 was the cheapest at £2,126.

When I was 13 I was driving a £50 Nissan Sunny around the yard next to my Dad's workshop.

Tested the spray gun and painted it multi coloured

Your car is far cooler.

I bought a Raleigh Ambush....my first bike with gears!

Impressed with the Jag though - hope the project goes well!

Be sure to ask your Dad to take it to a trackday so that you can drive it!!


Imagine, 12 years old, Jaaaaaaag, Brands Hatch.


Brilliant!

[bazking69]

I begged my parents for a car to tinker with when I was a teenager. They never did let me!

[badbanana]

Exceptional Work, I thought I was young at 21 owning a jag!

The flags were only there for the photo, just before Drive It Day.

I saved up and bought a Series III Land Rover when I was fourteen.

It was great fun, and I loved tinkering with it - even just taking things off, cleaning them, and putting them back on again.

Enjoy it, and I hope when you're 17 you can drive about in it and reap the benefits from your hard work!

[Xenocide]

Haha you awesome little man .

[CDP]

The car looks really smart and the website's extremely well put together with well written English.

Well done. You'll go far.

[Schmeeky]

Top work mate!

Yeah, it was St. Georges Day and on the run I went to most people turned up with flags.
