Good thread! Unfortunately I was born in 1980 though, so I'll take the same car as I took for the 1980 thread.

A black Alpina B6 (here's a front angle instead though)!

1995.

I'll have a Lotus Esprit please.



Or... if we're cheating a bit although not released until 1998 in the UK you could get a Honda Integra Type R in Japan from 1995.

1976: It'd have to be one of these (I'd put up with LHD)




Then one of either of these for the Friday commute to the office on dry days

"What car from your birth year as your DD?"

Well now, being an aged git, I don't think I would want anything that old; either for daily use, or even occasional use.

Nothing built prior to about 1955 would appeal to me, though I could live with cars of the late 1950s and 1960s...if the rest of the motoring environment were to go back to how things were in that era.

Cars in 1972 were primitive, unreliable rustbuckets.
I'd have this primitive old thing

1988 BMW E30 325i. All the car you could need - comfy and small enough for city commuting, fast enough to really clear the cobwebs at the weekend.

I would like to say Rover P5 but the "B" with the V8 didn't arrive till 67

1962, which was a terrible choice: 1963 would have given me a much wider choice.
But from 1962, if I could afford it, a Bristol 407



Or with a lower budget, a Citroen DS. Which, astonishingly, was already in its 7th year by 1962.

Not that bad! How about an E-Type or a Jaguar MkII 3.8?

1974 not a vintage year IMO, but one of these would be very welcome:
