My dream car was the Maserati Bora
If I'm allowed racing cars, I would pick the Maclaren M6, M7, M15, M16. Perhaps it was the colour that was so striking
The Bora was a fantastic car. I drooled over it in the pages of Motor magazine.
Funny thing about McLaren F1 cars of that era......the orange was distinctive, and yet those in the Donington Collection were an ordinary yellow. I still don't know how much the paint has faded, or how much is my memory.
But for me, there have been two watersheds in racing cars. Seeing the Lotus 72 for the first time on the cover of Autosport, and seeing the line up of 25 Porsche 917s in Car magazine.
Wow barely describes the feeling. I was 16 in 1969.......
