My father did a runner with the Hillman Minx in 1956. So I had little contact with cars until my Ford Anglia came along in 1970.
I think that's why I was much more interested in WW2 aviation.
I did have occasional contact with cars belonging to relatives and mates fathers.
Nothing too spectacular though apart from the Lagonda Rapide.

So it's hard to see where my fascination with cars comes from - presumably from my paternal grandfather, rider of a big British single pot bike, and engine driver in the days of steam.
