    The M1 was an interesting car, I think it was a Lamborghini that was taken over by BMW when the company got into bother.
    I was lucky enough to work for a team that raced them in the procar series. Serious fun for a 20 something car nut being paid to work in GP support races!

    Was it the M1 or the 850 that was the first to have the "new" can-bus system in it?

    How terribly sad I must be. I was 0 at the start of the 70s and 10 at the end of them. I'm a girl. And I scored 9/10 (only the M1 threw me).

    5/10 - I never knew what a Fiat looked like because according to my Dad they were foreign continental trash :) He drove a Ford Popular, then an Austin Cambridge A60, then a Morris Ital - 3 cars in 40 years of driving.

    10/10, I was born in 1984, though I used elimination and a bit of lucky guesswork!

    10/10 here aswell.

    If the Allegro was brown it would have been like my old University car. Nick named "The Flying Turd"
