I think the Maserati he thinks is a Merak is in fact a Khamsin.

Gosh , that is a trip down memory lane.

[Mr Skrunts]

Would love a triumph stag & jenson interseptor in my collection.

[Rangie]

A much better time back then😎

100% agree. theres some great cars there (and i dont mean the fancy lambos etc)
a time when cars actually had an identity.yes the jensen looks superb and so do the other mainstream cars.
its also a time when the world was better,people were better mannered,music was undoubtably better,etc etc. glad to have grown up in that era.

A time before feminists took the fun out of life.

What could be more natural than a pretty girl draped over a flashy car.

Nah.....the Moskvitch was more of a 'bird puller' back in 1973.....

Would that be an 'M' reg Mr Rangie?

........and if you had it today it would be worth a small fortune.

It was until I put my Grandads private plate on it 5016 VW sold the plate a few years later to a VW dealership. The Mexico cost me around £1300 if my memory serves me correctly.

Really??!

I just remember it was a whole decade of repetitive mass strikes, power cuts, oil shortages, substandard mass produced British cars (when they were built), and everything else, with GB considered to be the sick man of europe and very poor political 'leadership', if that what it was.  A naff decade that we tried to enlighten with bold colours, Habitat furnishings, and care free music that had generally lost the magic of the 1960s pop revolution.

No, give me the later, Maggie fueled, brash 1980s with BIG hair, plus great music!!

oh i agree .whilst growing up in the 70's was good and i enjoyed the music towards the later end of the 70's the 80's (to me ) was the best decade to be alive in full stop. 1980 could be a groundhog loop for me anytime !
as a kid in the 70's the political stuff and strikes etc were something i knew nothing about but i do think the general attitude of people was better then(70's and 80's) today theres too much aggresion and bad manners around,too much disregard for authority and rules/ laws etc.
i suppose every generation says the same thing .

No Opti, I was too young

Nothing will away me from the 1970s best days of my life, booze birds & cash all from HM Armed Forces.
