Born in the 80s with my childhood in the 90s, it's got to be these two:

Naturally, a Jag.



And of course the Diablo SV.

Im 17 but all my favourite cars are from when my old man was a nipper/unborn!





This is slightly realistic and will do everything in my power to get one, one day! Even if isn't an Evo model

This was always my favourite, even if it was past history by the time I was old enough to know what it was...

Sat in one at the '72 Motor Show at the age of 6 and fell in love for the first time. At the time the only experience of cars I had was being picked up for Sunday shool in an Austin 1100. biggrin

I've wanted one of these since I was 10. They always seem to be about £100k more then I can afford...

Somewhere at my parents house is a letter from Victor Gauntlett's PA telling me that I'm a bit too young to be shown round the Newport Pagnell works and to ask again in a couple of years. Included with the letter is a full press pack and set of brochures- it's something I'll never get rid of.

The first cars I got into as a kid were vintage sports cars - Blower Bentleys, Bugatti Type 35s and so on. Then I discovered the joy of V8s and it was Cobras, GT40s and the old shape (DBS-style) Aston Martin Vantage.

Going back further, though, I used to have a poster of this exact shot on my bedroom wall, and I blame it for repeated TVR purchases since:

My Dad had one of these as a staff car, I learnt the rudiments of driving in it at the age of five.

I was born in 1988 and was always behind the times, from the first time I saw one and asked my mum what it was, this car always was and is my favourite of all time. One of my first memories is being with my mum in her old 3.0 Mk.1 Capri and asking what this car was...

It was the E-Type Jaguar. smile

I really really really wanted my dad to get one, but he stuck to Cressidas.
