Your favourite car from the year you were born in...
Discussion
Thought this might throw up some interesting cars. Two simple rules:
1. To make it slightly more accessible, if you really can't find a car from your birth year that ignites a passion then you can shift one year either way i.e. if you were born in 1990 you can dip into 1989 or 1991.
2. If you can find a PH ad for your car of choice, chuck it in to keep the PH boys and girls happy
I'll start the ball rolling. I'm a 1963 young 'un and there were a fair few beauties 'born' in that year - from the humble Ford Cortina GT and Corsair through to the wonderful 'birth-car' of Lamborghini - the delectable 350 GT.
For me though, the toss up is between two iconic and drop dead gorgeous sports coupes. Ferrari 250 GT Lusso...

...or the iconic Aston DB5 Vantage.
Aston gets it. Just. And in this 'de-bumpered' form it is simply stunning.

I'm of 1973 vintage so quite a choice, I am however going to choose a car I have owned, just because I enjoyed owning it so much. A Triumph Dolomite Sprint.
I was born the same year and for me it wasn't a great year for car launches so I will go with the Ferrari BB but there isn't much greatness to choose from and I wish I was younger because cars certainly got a lot better I think in the 80`s and 90`s. Edited by cerb4.5lee on Tuesday 4th August 11:25
