Following on from the Andy Summers topic I wonder what the average age of forum members is. Maybe I am way out but I would reckon over 50.I am 65. I wonder who is the youngest.?

I'm 36 and it still amazes me that my Alvis was left abandoned in a garage before I was born.....it was parked up most of my life until I rescued it in 2008.

I really love old stuff though, it was built to last, not like today's tat.
my wife jokes that I was born in the wrong century Laughing

I won't give my age as I might have to start acting it. Laughing

Suffice to say, there has never been a car in the family older than me.

Father was lucky enough to have a P3 as a company car when I started school

Turning 35 next month and my cars are 35, 36 and 42 yrs old, only the daily is younger then me and its not a new car either but a 17 year old one.
I'd like to get something much older but seems I'm stuck in the 70's!!!
Problem is, you cannot be that choosy with free cars Laughing

I'm between Jason and D4B in years Smile

All of my oldies are older than me, the newest old car was built in 1960, the oldest in 1925.

My oldest car (1932 Austin 10/4) is 80 this year, while I'm a mere youth of 74.
