Being very old school myself, give me a F1 car with a proper gear lever and analog dials.  The 1991 MP4/6 fits that description, and is one of last really elegant F1 cars.  Seeing the Tag-Porsche turbo cars would make me very misty-eyed, and the late eighties-early ninties Honda powered cars would be very evocative to see as well, despite my enormous dislike of the Brazilian chap who drove them.  As far as anything post '92? Really couldn't care less about them, mostly butt-ugly lumps of carbon fibre, and devoid of any character.  By the early ninties F1 had truly turned into Bernie's made for TV, travelling dog & pony show, and I find nothing after 1992 nostalgic.
