Oh..I so wanted one of these when 'I were a lad!'

I see one everyday and it is in mint condition. About 10 miles on the clock since a full nut and bolt restoration. Shame he didnt spray it black tho.

I have very vague memories of when I was 3 or so and seeing my Nana's Scirocco parked on her drive... that is probably the earliest car memory I have!

My Dad had one of these - Silver over Maroon (with whitewall tyres). It's the first car I can remember, so it's burnt into my memory. I would have been about four.

Getting picked up from infant school regularily in one of these and being allowed to operate the blue light and two-tones

Wonder why I have what I have....

I remember my dad taking me to Silverstone to watch the World Sports Cars (Sauber C9s, Jag XJR9s etc )
There was a 959 and a Testarossa parked next to each other. I've still got a photo of me standing between them looking awestruck.

My dad's Pontiac LeMans. Owned it in Germany circa 1967-68. Pity we had to leave it. It loved the autobahn (much to my mother's chagrin)

355 parked in the car park of a car show I attended with my dad when I was about 7.

I still have the picture

A plod rover SD1.

Some bloke at the bakery where my old man worked in the late seventies had one of these;

Remember at the time thinking why it sounds so much different to my Dad's Corolla

[Gun]

For me it was seeing and hearing one of these at a local car show...



I was standing right next to the start line as it roared off up the seafront, been hooked ever since!

[Bowler]

One of these, when I was about 12.



Really did burn into my memory. Loved these ever since and most since Corvettes too.

Still love the C2 today. just wish I had the cash/space/will power Etc Etc to buy one. IMO - Motorised Porn

[BlueEyedBoy]

Lots of earlier memories of family cars like early Saab turbo (first car I had seen with a turbo guage) and various top exec models my dad had like an XM V6, 21 turbo. First car I ever really had to own after seeing it was a purple cerbera driving through Haslemere highstreet. I was on my Uni placement at the time and past Fernhursts every day. 3 years later I bought one from them.

Jensen Interceptor III and my first supercar ride was in a Porsche 928 way back in 1981. Loved the chequer interior and telephonedial wheels. Fast too as a 12 year old.

The very earliest was when I was a child and I used to get taken to visit the grandparents in Brandon. We'd pass an MG spares garage, but it wasn't an MG that was parked across the road pretty much every time we went, it was one of these:



Weird but true. It's the first car I can remember that I thought was ace.

When I was about 6 these cars were all I could think about...
