Your dream garage - cars from only one year

[RobM77]

If you had an unlimited budget for a dream garage, but could only choose cars from one year in history, which year would that be? The cars must have been manufactured or sold new in that year.

I'll start the ball rolling with 1992

Firstly, my two dream cars:

Senna's Mclaren:



The Mclaren F1:



And all this other tasty stuff too:

Honda NSX:



E30 M3:



Lancia Delta Integrale Evo:



Ferrari F40:



Porsche 964 RS



Lotus Esprit S4:



Caterham 7 JPE



Peugeot 205 GTi:



Any advance on 1992?

I was wondering when I posted if it was a little unfair of me to grab 1992. I thought maybe it was just my taste.

Hang on - I missed off the car that started all this! Editing my post now...

The crazy thing is that as mouth watering as that garage seems, if I missed off the top two and the F40, the whole lot could be had for around the price of a brand new Lambo or Ferrari

Well, being an 80s fan ill go for 1983. I warn you in advance i have modest tastes

1992 seems to be a superior year!!

'87 seems nice for me though...



75 Turbo


Testerossa


XR3i

Great thread! It would have to be late 80s/early 90s for me. I think the OP's 1992 might take a lot of beating (although of course I would add in a Saab 900 Carlsson )

[jamiebae]

1997 I think.

F355 Berlinetta
McLaren F1
BMW 750i
Mk1 Mazda MX5, obviously!
Land Rover Defender TDi
Audi A3 1.8T shopping car.

I'd be happy with that little lot I think, maybe a Brazilian import VW Type 2 with a Danbury conversion too...

1972

Aston Martin DBS V8 (David Brown signature car in black)
Boat-tail Riviera (5.7 Dragon green Foose or Barry White build)
RS2000 MK1 (Signal Yellow)
MGB GT (Tahiti Blue)
Norton Commando (one in black and a silver TT spec' one)
Lotus Europa (JPS colours)
Jensen Interceptor (midnight blue manual overdrive)
Triumph Stag V8 (Hard top Manual overdrive saffron yellow, soft top auto in blue)
FHC E-Type V12 (Burgundy manual overdrive)
Dodge Challenger (white)


Still not convinced?

Lambogini Miura (orange)
Bond Bug (Signal orange)
Triumph GT6 2.5 pi
Porsche 917 (Le mans spec')


Still not sure I've won?








I will pay £0.00 road tax!

Good call. If you roll it on a year to '98 you can have a Caterham R500 and a 106 GTi too :-)

I don't think the r500 came along until 2000. Certainly not available in 98 anyway. Superlight R would be a suitable substitute though. Pretty sure the JPE in your op may be a year premature as well, whilst I'm being pedantic

FWIW 1992 seems hard to beat. E34 m5 was a also a corker from that period. Oh and the very last 944 turbos.

don't forget the Alfa Tipo 33 Stradale

I think that 1970/71 was a fine year.
