   My father's car in which I started driving had mechanical clutch.   
   Probably cable. An Austin 1300. Hydraulic brakes, no servo assist.   
      
   The next car my father bought, a Peugeot 205, was the first we had with   
   hydraulic clutch, same reservoir as the brakes. Bought maybe 1984. I   
   remember the first time I drove it, my father warned me the brakes were   
   brutal. Yet I was surprised by them, the car stopped brutally. Vacuum   
   servo-assist.   
      
   My first car too also had cable clutch. A Renault Super 5 TL. This car   
   was bought around 1985.   
      
   Non had assisted steering.
