I haven't seen a 'low light' in years! Infact I must've seen only a handful of them ever.  ;)

Got my first car in 1997, it was a 1982 mk3 Ford Escort 1.3L in 'sunburst red' (i.e. orange ;D). It made a nice change to all the Fiestas and Novas that my mates had.

My first car was a 1972 LJ Torana.. 6 pack with 4 speed manual.. Was a little beast of a thing and really beautiful to drive.
Since leaving home my dad has decided to turn it into a drag car, he has supercharged and done a few other bits and bobs to it now..  :D
This is the best pic I could find, doesn't give away how nice the shape is though :(

Having read what everyone else has posted I have to say that I think my first car is the most embarassing here so far.

A bright orange Skoda Estelle 120 :-[ :-[

It could have been a Lada Riva or Lada Cossck and don't forget the Yugo Zastava! so it's not that bad.

At least it is only your first car... you should see how many I see drive past here. and its their only car!!!

(Not sure what is the exact name of that model here, but if it is what I am thinking of, they are going for northwards of 1000 euro for a good model now.. )

A 1971 Volkswagen beetle.
I saw it around 6 years ago in Staffordshire, it looked absolutely immaculate.
It was parked up in a garden centre car park.
I waited around for a while to talk to the owner, but couldn't wait any longer and left, shame.
