My Dad's first car was a 1961 Morris Minor station wagon (aka 'Lakri ki gari'). He bought that in 1967, and at that time paid (if I am not mistaken) Rs. 6,500/- We sold that in 1978 for about 7,500/- When we came back to Pakistan in 1981, we bought a Vauxhall Victor Super 2000, 1973, with a 2-liter engine, bucket seats, and a 3-speed column shift gearbox. Awsome power in that car. In 1981, that was bought for Rs. 11,000/- I am still searcing for a similar car, if I can find one.
Since that, have had a 1984 Accord Hondamatic, a Mazda 616 2-door coupe, Suzuki Swift (Japanese), Nissan Sunny 1988 (which my Dad still has). Currently own a Honda Civic Prosmatec 2001, and an Accord 2005.
