Oh, yes, the cars from England, they still make me dream, although I was just a preteen in the Seventies 😀
Still, even then I read about their quality issues.
I became, hovever, a car nut at nine. This passion, as I can remember, was ignited by one of my first car magazines over here from 1977, which featured a title story on Rolls-Royce. And I immediately started dreaming of the then brand-new Silver Shadow II 😄, though I might have had a hard time reaching the floorboard then…
I also admired the 1979 Chevy Caprice Classic Estate which friends of my parents owned. Unencumbered by a catalyst, with no emission laws in Europe at the time, the engine pulled powerfully, too. So much room, and so very exciting and exotic over here!
