I know about Eric Morecambe’s Jensen Interceptor and loads of celebs back then had Rolls Royces, what other celeb/interesting car combinations have I missed?

That Marcos sounded lovely. Looked good with a bit of mud on it too. Timely reminder of how 'cosy' they were inside.

Can I stretch to the 80's

Chris De Burgh had a BMW 735i in 1988.

It's still around. Sitting in my garage at the moment.

Rod Stewart had a Marcos GT (before the Miura) there's a video clip online of him and Kenny Jones giving it the beans around London sporting smug expressions on their 'Faces' wink

Half a century ago, amazing stuff, so nostalgic.

John Noakes was a fantastic presenter, him and Peter Duncan were my favourite, know a chap who looks like the pair of them at the same time smile

I really hope its red...



James Hunt had an Austin A35. And a Merc 450SEl 6.9. Well, in fact every Merc 450SEL 69 has been owned by him apparently.
