At 14 in 1972 I had a picture of one of these on my wall (heavily influenced by the debonair Lord Brett Sinclair in the Persuaders  )  So, what was your bedroom wall Retro and why? . . . |

I had loads of cool car posters, but the one that really stayed with me was this little A5 flyer of the 164 Procar.  Got it from the Birmingham motor show in either 88 or 1989 Still my dream car, 0-60 in 2.1 from the 600 bhp 13000rpm 3.5l V10 The other side of the flyer looked like this:  |

I had a lot of BTCC posters on my wall, but the one that stands out was the Mazda Xedos. I think the livery stood out to me all the way back in '93 but it's weird to think that the Xedos is one of those cars you just never see anymore. They must have sold pitifully over here. The picture below might even from the day I got the poster, great looking bit of nineties bland.  |

My bedroom was gradually covered by Street machine centre folds, my ol' man worked in a paper shop and brought me number 1 home when the cover got ripped off it and I had all of them from then on for about 10 years I reckon.

Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

One whole wall was covered in 'Cutom Car' centre spreads, complete with topless models, this would be late 70's. Don't know what my Gran though when she visited and used my room! Still have most of them, one of my favourites was/is Panic, the funny car.

Will, that Xedos livery really was a turd, wasn't it? (The BTCC car itself is ace, and the still born 323)
I had posters of Subaru Legacy group a cars on my walls, particularly McRae jnr's Rothmans one

It was all about the f40 for me.  Currently, because I'm still a child I still have Retro Cars posters everywhere - mk2 Cavalier, Corrolla E70, mk2 Cortina as well as some old car adverts for a Datsun cherry and a capri. Surprisingly no Volvos. |

Loads of early '90s rally cars, and weirdly, a dealership advertising poster for the 306 GTI-6. The old man worked for Citroen at the time so would bring me plenty of PSA advertising guff ;D
