I too was born into Classic & Vintage cars & actually learned how to drive on a '30 A7 special at the tender age of 9. I could drive a 3 speed crash box before I ever shifted cogs in a modern syncro box.
Like Ruairidh I was fortunate enough to be blessed with a father who wholeheartedly encouraged me to participate in his hobby, even if that meant having to rebuild the motor in the 65 after the oil pump swallowed the valve cotter pin I'd dropped into the sump while learning how to grind in valves, or fixing the body when I inadvertently let it roll back into a tree because I didn't apply the hand brake properly when parking it.
We're still playing with 7's & cars in general
