my lessons wew £10 back in the day not sure what price they have reached now?
I would of much rather learnt in a Cooper s than a terrible corsa lol - perhaps they get these cars as they will keep there value better when they come to sell them?? who knows.

when i started learning to drive in may 2005, it was in a 1.2 52 plate renault clio. not a bad car, but within a couple lessons, my instructor had bought a brand new red mini cooper.
"this is pokey" i mentioned to him a couple lessons later.
"thats because its a cooper s" he replied
got rid of that about 3 months later. wanted a blue one.
so i passed my test in a 55plate blue mini cooper s.
(it was my instructors fault i had to have performance cars from the off, not me!!)

My next door nbr (ADI) had a Cooper drop top but he had to get rid as the rear visability was not enough to meet the required standards, now has a cooper S. I think he charges c.£20 / hr.

Corsas weren't even around when I learned to drive in 1988. I learned in a Vauxhall Nova...remember them? I would love to have learned to drive in a scooby though.
