My first vehicle was a bicycle ;D  I used to ride round with my ladder on my shoulder and a bucket strapped on the carrier.  Got fresh water at each stop from the first customer.

My first window cleaning vehicle was my legs. I carried the ladder and stuff around the estate where I lived.

After that;

Ford Escort Estate - £100 from an auction. We knew when it was time to buy something else when buses overtook us going up hills.
A useless clapped out Toyota van - one day I shut the drivers door and it fell off into the road.
