Most PH school of motoring car you've seen.

2013 Fiesta ST in Spirit Blue. Much envy toward the no doubt unaware young girl driving it at the time. I had a 1.25 Fiesta Ghia, which was pretty impressive at the time.

I passed my test many years ago in a 1.3 Astra, just weeks later my (now Ex) instructor bought a new Nova GSi the git!

[r-kid]

I'm not sure if they still have this but:

[CBR JGWRR]

I swear I read in Octane once about a driving school for journalists and such like with E-Types and Ferraris back in the 60s/70s...

Local guy has a Mini Cooper S.

I like that, as it's totally unnecessary and he could have got the Mini One D like so many others.

Not sure about most PH, but certainly the oddest one I saw regularly was when I lived in Hall Green, Birmingham about 10 years ago.

One of the local instructors used a Mitsubishi L200 pickup truck. Seem to remember the local teenage learners loving it.

[kowalski655]

Had a few lessons in an instructor's XR2i(obviously MANY years ago)
Moved away so couldnt take the test in it.

One which is reasonably near to me uses a Corsa VXR....I imagine they're probably booked up a lot!

Edit: Just found their website, turns out it's a Corsa VXR Nurburgring edition

Good business I reckon, will attract the punters purely because it's a Cooper and not a D.

I picked a driving instructor solely because he used a mini cooper(1993 reg, it was 1996); fortunately he was pretty good and learning in what is basically a go-kart on the road was ace. fking hell that was a long time ago.

There is (or was) a mazda mx6 (yes, 6) in purple with chequer vinyl all over it used as a learner car around cambridge. I worked above a speed awareness course classroom and it used to park outside most days.

Not ph exactly but a bit "different"

[vx220]

My instructor had an Mk2 XR2, which for an L-plate 17yr old in Essex was just perfect

[Triumph Man]

The other thing you have to think is that a lot of the time, this car is also the instructor's personal car. Therefore they might not want to drive around in some 1.slow stbox, and they might want something a bit more peppy!

[The Moose]

A chap not a million miles from here used to run a 355. You were given a drive if you passed your test with him apparently.

[djdestiny]

In the late 80's there was one called XR Driving School in Peterborough which had a fleet of white mk4 XR3i's.
Lessons with them were twice the cost per hour than other places, people were daft enough to pay for it too

[Rick Cutler]

Not exactly PH but would suit 90% of the motoring publics want for a Chav license..

They're 1.6TDi SEs. Neither stupendously powerful or particularly chavvy.
