So what you would buy that was built in the year you were born? Provide link to survivor/s smile

My starter - I give you a 1971 Citroen DS Pallas. For le wafting avec ma dame.

This 1974 Dino, seems overpriced but I have no idea what these normally go for!

Ferrarri F40s were in production the year I was born - 1988, so I'm going to say that, not that I can afford one.

I have a classic Mini which was still being produced then though - so if I have to have my sensible hat on, I'll say that, because I actually bought one! jester

Not my favourite 80s supercar, but far and away the best thing from 1986!

ETA: Is this cars that were new to market in your birth year, or just available new?

Either! Would be good if links to cars available today also added, just to see the survivors smile

1993 so a choice of

Early DB7



or

993 GT2



Though if we're being realistic then most likely one of these two biggrin
