Just been thinking, what cars did you all lust after as impressionable school boys/girls that were actually achievable not the obvious Ferraris, Aston Martins etc.
As I came into Williams ownership by default having bought mine off daughter Lucy, who was struggling to run/insure it so I bought it from her to sort it out and resell it. That was two and a half years ago and I am still driving it on a daily basis and love it to bits but I am one of the older members on here and was in my late forties when the Williams was introduced.
My era included MGB, TR2&3, Jag Mk 2 and obviously E Type, which was introduced in 1961 and seemed like it was from outer space but somehow possible to own as it cost less than £2,000 new.

I always wanted an Escort RS Turbo after seeing one pull out to overtake and literally seeing it accelerate instead of just coasting by like most cars do. Think I must have been young (14-15) at the time but I remember it!
Got one, loved it, it died, I want another one :( despite the fact the valver is an infinitely better car to drive! lol
