Are your classics from your era?

[crofty1984]

OK, confusing title, but coming from another thread on "peak car" it seems there's a lot of love for cars that were out when we were in our teens.
Is that the case here?
Are you 40 and finally have that 1990s car you lusted after?
Are you 20 and drive a 1950s car?
Are you 80 and drive a "modern classic"?

For the record, I'm 36 and my classic bikes are from the 60s and 70s. So I guess I don't fit the type. I do have a 1985 Lotus Excel, but I'm not counting that because it was a gift. If I was to choose another classic car, I'd probably go for something fairly run-of-the mill from the 80s though, the kind of car I saw growing up, or something from the 60's.

Confusing title indeed so you probably are not interested to know that my old car was new and displayed at the Earl's Court Motor Show seven months after I was born (same calendar year).
I think it and I are from the same era, whether it's what you wanted or not!

I am always interested in anyone's old car
