    My childhood hero's car from when I first started watching F1 at 7 years old!

    Magneti marelli! They helicoptered me and the missus into Silverstone for the F1. Pit lane passes and free food and drink. Those were the days!!

    Anybody remember The Persuaders with Roger Moore and Tony Curtis ?
    The actual car driven by Roger Moore as Lord Brett Sinclair was there on the Saturday resplendent in its false number plates. I felt I had met one of my childhood heroes !!

    The BMW M1 in white not a million miles away from my Mk1.

    Some Esprits although my favourite is the white series 1 as driven by Roger Moore in The Spy Who Loved Me
    (Are you noticing a theme here? I didn't find a White Volvo P1800 to complete the set !)

    I once had a basic E30 316 (it wasn't even 316i) but it was such a revelation after driving rather mundane cars like my Mini Traveller, Renault 5, Datsun Cherry and a couple of Nissan Micras that I really enjoyed driving it.(Unless there was snow in which case it was safer to walk!)
    Consequently I have a soft spot for BMWs.
    Here are three I admired at the show, none of which has any link to a TV show or a film!!

    I chose this car because it was the finale of Mike Brewer's car clinics
