Round car birthdays in 2011
12/17/2010
The year will soon be changing, which naturally raises the question of which car models will be celebrating a milestone birthday next year.
The Jaguar E-Type, the sensation of the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, will be 50 years old next year.
Other vehicles that will be 50 years old next year are
- Renault 4
- VW 1500 - the big VW (March)
- Peugeot 404 (spring 1961)
- NSU Prinz 4 (September)
- Fiat 1300/1500
- Daf 600
- Devin VW (Devin D)
- Citroen Ami 6
- Fiat Coupé 2300 S (September)
- Simca 1000 (October, presentation in Paris)
- Jaguar Mark X (October)
- Triumph TR 4
- Ferrari 250 GT(E)
- Alfa-Romeo 2000 Sprint (Bertone)
But there are also a number of desirable automobiles that will achieve classic car status next year and turn 30 years old. In particular, there is the Alfa-Romeo GTV6, one of the best-sounding cars of the last 30 years.
In addition to the GTV6, there are also a number of other vehicles (list not exhaustive):
- Audi Quattro
- Talbot Murena
- Porsche 944
- Renault 5 Turbo
- Ferrari Mondial
- Mercedes 380/500 SEC
- Opel Ascona (front-wheel drive version)
- VW Jetta
- Talbot Tagora
- TVR Tasmin
If errors have crept into the list or important vehicles have been forgotten, please let me know.
We will of course try to track down interesting articles about these vehicles or write them ourselves.
