I got 60%, and considering half of the correct answers were guesses, I'm relatively pleased with that, I'm only 44, so not old enough to remember half of these.

I got No 5 and No 9 wrong - the ones about the Lagonda and where the XK 120 broke the speed record.

Aston Martin Lagondas aren't my thing really................
XK120s were even before my time.................

Cool

I got 90%. I wonder what percentage of success is a reflection of a person's age?

PS I'm not even 60 yet.

I only managed 50%, in the past I have done several quizes on American cars and scored 100%. I suppose that makes me a real anorak

Failed with 50% Must revise harder next time!!

90% for me: I had to guess the date for the Lagonda, and got it wrong; and I had never heard of the Range Rover name, but guessed right!
I then passed it over to my wife, who claimed to have guessed every answer, and managed 80%!!!!!!

80% and I am 69 years old.

80% but I must admit to several very lucky guesses!

I am 70 so should have done better (without the successful guesses!)

80%, but tried the other quiz's and did very poorly.
