Cars as old as you!
I read earlier on BBC News that it is 50 years since the first Ford Escorts rolled out of Halewood.
And I remembered them being new, which did make me feel rather old!
Then I realised that the Anglia 105E began production in the year I was born
Still the same year did produce the Mini and the MKII Jaguar, so it wasn't all bad news!
So what car was introduced in the year you were born?

The first e30 3 series??? 1984
Still never owned the model that first got me into BMW's when I fell in love with a Macau blue 325i sport which was parked on our street as a kid.

Here are a few from 1956:
BMW 507 (I was surprised they were introduced so long ago)
Studebaker Golden Hawk (only included because I had a Corgi model)
Tourette (maybe it caused bizarre behaviour)
Renault Dauphine
Jaguar Mark 8

The BMW 507 has still got to be the best looking car BMW have ever made. Grand daddy of the zed 4 you can kinda see in the zed proportions how it harks back to the 507
BMW E21 3 Series 1975. I guess without the success of the first 3 Series none of us would have zeds and consequently no forum!

I remember the launch of the Escort - I was 13 at the time. Went on to own a MK1 1300XL Estate. It proved to be a pretty simple and reliable machine.
Cars launched in 1955 included;
VW Karmann Ghia
MGA
Triumph TR3
Mercedes Benz 190
Jaguar Mk1
and in the US, the Ford Thunderbird

My driving instructor had a run-out MKI 1300XL 2 door on an M-plate. A great car IMO - after all I passed my test in it!

That's a great idea for another thread "Cars you past your test in." Might just start that.
