This year, 2013, is the 50th anniversary of...

Lamborghini

McLaren (as a racing team, at least)

Porsche 911.

Any other significant anniversaries this year?

TM

Aston Martin DB 5, a movie star.

Alfa Romeo, the famous Coupé Bertone which made a lot of us dream in our childhood.

The Alpine Renault A 110, whose production started in 1963.

And, if I am not wrong, I think the Mercedes Pagode was born in this very same year...

Only beautiful people, here.

In fact, it would have been funnier to ask which ugly car, or flop was born in 1963...

It was a sky blue (in and out) Renault 4 Super. I miss it.

to celebrate its 50th anniversary, I'm giving her a full restoration hopefully it can be done within the next couple of months. 

1963 model was my first car. Lots of ill fitting plastic inside and not very exciting.

2013 is also the 300th anniversary of Thomas Tompion, know as the father of English horology
and burried in Westminster Cathederal alongside George Graham and more recently John Harrison and not
far from Sir Issac Newton.

Can it be?!? Aston Martin is 100?!?

. . . which was probably the most advanced racing motor to come out of Detroit other than Mopar's 426 Hemi. 

Remind me to tell you the story of how I almost ended up with one some three decades back . . .
