Sad thing is I have driven more than half of them, I'm getting too old

That's the trouble with you youngsters, now if you want to talk about the sit up and beg Anglia, 100e Anglia and Morris Isis then I could well understand how you must feel;)

My Mum had most of them bar for the M1, Allegro in hearing aid beige was so embarassing, especially after she had traded in an alfa for the austin !!!!!!! School street cred gone.

9/10 caught out by the Vantage. As I started driving in the early 80s, embarrassingly I've owned some of those cars.

The original Allegro had the wonky shaped steering wheel, later modified to the standard shape if requested.

Still at primary school in the 70's but managed 9/10.Never saw a BMW M1 before.

10/10, and I've driven at least half of them (although not during the 70s).

There's a hearing aid beige Allegro near me still in daily use driven by a not particularly old woman. Mind it's driven so slowly it's about time it went to the scrapyard in the sky.

I was thinking exactly the same I reckon the Avenger was my favourite, never driven anything that was so easy to drive sideways :T

Wasn't it sort of square?

My grandfather had a Vaden Plas 1500.

Nice to see the quiz started with a great car, then went downhill after that.
