Seeing the noble old 1950 Healey (Unusual Sightings thread), and Lud having helpfully pointed out that it had a 2.5 litre Riley engine, made me think....
....If you were the sort of person who had a Riley in the 50s, you might have had a Triumph in the 60s and 70s, but you'd now probably have a BMW.
Going back the other way, if we were who we are now, say 50 years ago - or even 20 or 30 for those of you younger than I - what would we have driven?
For me I think it might well have been a Riley 2.5, then a Triumph 2000 /2500 (much superior to the Rover 2000 I always thought).
Pugugly, if you see this, your view as a BMW enthusiast would be interesting.

Like to think I'd have had something like a Citroen DS but suspect at the time convention would dictate that a middle manager in the Civil Service had a Vauxhall or maybe an elderly Rover 90.
