I was born in 1956 so that would make me 28 I guess.
I have owned 6 Amazons since the mid 1970s, the most I paid was £300, the cheapest was the one which I still have at £0!

We are as old as our tongues and a little bit older than our teeth, and a few years older than our amazon and caravan

At a very early age I was taking clocks appart whilst listening to "Dick Barton special agent" on the tube radio. I still played aroung with a "cats whisker and crystal" with earphones.

How about I simply state that my '73 ES was the car that I lusted after in High School. It is my second, and I give thanks to a most understanding spouse.

I am 66. Had my first ride in P1800 in 1970....(aged 17)
Bought my 1800S when I was 60.
Have always thought these were one of the very best looking sports coupes in the world. They drive well today, and the perceived out-rite performance is not a limiting factor on today's roads (IMO).
Don't know what that says...
