I got my first car - an Austin Maxi (bought off the in laws) and engaging first gear could only be achieved by engaging second gear first - wonderful synchromesh! But it was 1750 cc and had 5 gears and could tow a caravan.
First car I ever bought at auction. Wasn't overly enamoured of it and sold it after six months.
Ya should have got a Princess !

Also my first car. Horrible British Leyland rubbish.
I did the decent thing and put it through a hedge backwards.
