Here is a blank cheque, which car...

[ColinD]

would you buy, with one huge caveat!

 

Which car would you buy; money no issue, from before you were born? The car must be older than you.

 

This will be an easier challenge for some and hopefully no-one has to say horse.

I'm going to make my personal choice one step harder by saying it has to be from the marque my parents had, but my grandparents also the same marque.

 

So I'd pick the Citroen DS

 

Well ahead of it's bagged; air ride, grandchildren. Rear couch for sleeping too while I await rescue . Headlights that turned with the steering. 

 

It's that or the HY van.

Jag S-Type 3.8 (the original one, not the dreadful rehash) - loved these since I was a child - the dash is unsurpassable.

[KenONeill]

Ferrari 250 GT Omologato of course!

[P6bJOHN]

1953 Hudson Hornet Twin H-Power Club Coupe. Like this:

 

[Ally_bassman]

Has to be a Ferrari F40, only two years older than me!

I would be tempted by a Rover P6. Family owned two in the sixty's and it's about the first car I remember being driven around in. 

 

[blueR36]

Would say the Jenson Interceptor , but its not old enough so has to be Corvette convertable

[ColinD]

A teacher of ours had a Jenson Interceptor, don't remember any other cars from 6years of going to that school, but I remember that one. I could of claimed it, but

[blueR36]

My mates Dad was a  chauffeur and mechanic for fields which at the time was one of the biggest wool soter/mill in the world, he had a BMW batmobile , a Gullwing Merc and the Interceptor as cars to pick up clients from the airport, the interceptor was the best, sky blue with cream leather and shagpile carpets, went like  stink sounded gorgeous , and after my Dads Austin 1100 was a dream

[Aspman]

Oooh hard. Soo many beautiful cars.

 

Jensen Interceptor

Dodge Charger 69

Aston DB5

 

 

But probably for me something I still think is truly lovely.... Jag XK120 M Roadster

You could still have one of the 1963 GTOs, or the "breadvan"; I have to have a 1962 version.

I'm a 1973 birth so to be totally correct I'd have to say a citroen DS Safari but if given a bit of leeway I'd say a 1974 onwards Citroen CX Safari as my dad had one when I was a kid and I loved it. We used to go to France in it an it was cool to see the CX ambulances they used then!

[ColinD]

IIRC They used to use a CX for horse racing film work on the BEEB too.

 

So many lovely cars here... you're going to hate what comes in part 2 of this tomorrow  Yes I did forget to mention that bit

[Outrunner]

Something before I was born, and with a blank cheque you say. Simples.

Can be anything, I was just being hard on myself, otherwise I'd still be picking.
