Did you have any "poster cars" when you were a youth, ie posters of contemporary cars, up on your bedroom wall?

I seem to recall a cutaway drawing of a BMW 3.0CSL at some point gracing my walls.

In my youth I had many posters on my bedroom walls, but they were all of motorcycles. Triumphs, BSA, AJS, Matchless. In fact all the old British machines.

I also had some other posters advertising the likes of Diana Dors!

Its weird being the same age as old people.
You are either part of the problem or part of the solution

Mine was a photo of an Audi quattro rally car. I've probably still got it somewhere.

Keith. I must be really getting on. Not so much a poster but I actually knew Diana Dors when I lived in Sunningdale. She was a really nice person but boy did she like to splash the cash! The swimming pool in her house was out of this world!
