I don’t claim to be a classic car boffin, in fact I am very open about almost knowing nothing at all about cars that are older than I am (mid-90s). I guess I can put this down to that age old clich\u00e9 of the aspirational poster wall car. Why would I look back at 60s as a 4-year-old and ogle over a wire wheeled MG when I could drool over a Ferrari 355 or Lamborghini Countach with its outrageous doors and rear wing taken straight off of a fighter jet?<\/p>\n
Having spent the past few years in the fortunate position to see and pilot some of the rarest, fastest and most desirable modern cars on the planet (lucky git, I know) the equivalent cars of an era passed started to catch my attention. As with everyone and anyone I had in interest in the likes of the Aston Martin DB5 – more so because such as machine was appreciated not just as a car, but a style icon. Participating in Mille Miglia last year and attending concours d’elegance such as Villa d’Este ignited a fascination for old school motoring in my mind and I started to pay attention to poster cars of an older generation.<\/p>\n\r\n
