Many ,some achievable some not , but these were top of the list ,
Not a 944 but the far rarer 924 Carrera

Never owned a genuine but I built an exact replica

Foolishly turned down two  :-[

Never got a B7 Alpina but have a cooking 635


Pestered the the owner of one of these for two years to give me first offer when he sold it , he didn't

Odd that no-one has mentioned what I drooled over ..



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jensen_FF

When I was in my early 20's I went out with a lass whose father owned a garage, and one day he came home with one and let me have a drive in it .. absolutely phenomenal !!

An uncle of mine had a regular Interceptor for a while before I was born .. the only one I've ever seen close up was in the garage of a fella I was buying an engine off; he also had a Jensen H-Type drophead coupe mid restoration - one of only 14 produced and, I believe, the only drophead of that configuration in existence. T'was gorgeous, even if it was in bits!

Had a metallic blue Mk111 Interceptor 6.3litre for a while in the mid 90's(series 3G).
Brother had an XJS V12 at the time. Interceptor was quicker to 60 but after that the XJS would leave it for dead.
We both wish we had kept them both. I see the Interceptor at Newport Classic Car show every year and it's now the same colour as the one above.

MkI 3.0V6 Granada Ghia
E Type Jaguar
Triumph TR4
Triumph TR6
Ferrari Dino
Ford GT40
AC Cobra (Shelby)

Luck to have owned all but the last four, all of which I have driven though

Been looking for pics, but most of my motoring ones (incl my racing ones) disappeared with nearly all my photo albums when I got divorced :-\

Found a few -

Not my '64 TR4, but my '67 TR4A -



My '69 TR6



My '72 Ferrari Dino (such a nice looking car)



If I find any of the others I'll post them up

I liked the Audi 200 turbo (late 70s-early 80s) and Monza gte (with digital dash). My mates dad had a Monza and took us for a "leisurely" spin sometimes ::)
