  • Anyone pass their driving test in a MK 2?

    I took driving lessons in a MK2 1300 when 17 but never passed the test that was later in a Landrover at Saint Athans with the regiment boys. After passing I bought my first Mk2 a Mexico- bit heavy on the insurance as it was a group 5. Has anyone here passed the test in a Mk2 and then later bought one?

                Learnt to drive in a MKI, which was written off (not guilty) & replaced by a red MKII pop with 12" rims & shiny centre caps which I passed my test in at the 2nd attempt in Townhill Park, Southampton 1988.

                The instructors name was a Mr. Humby

                After i passed i went out & bought a White MkII Linnet

                Mark.
