Bought at 48 and now I’m 53.
I’ve been buying BL cars since I was 17. Austin 1100 cost me £35.

Evening,
Bought my first 75 when I was 65, second 75 at 65 and third 75 at 66 (last week). I will have to stop buying 75s! although a 2.5 V6 would complete the set! Bought my MG Midget when I was 21 and it is still in the garage....and nearly as decrepit as me! Regards David |
