What's the oldest car you saw on the road today?

Kaiser D · 2013-10-19 22:30:02

Been out and about today and came across a rather quiet housing estate with some incredible examples of auto****e in almost every garden and I started thinking to myself you just don't seem to see many older cars on the roads these days. I even notice 96 reg cars are thinning out on the roads today, I'll always take notice…

Macroom

That 97 corolla is in macroom with years. It's absolutely immaculate and totally unmarked.

..and a few more..

there's an Audi SQ5 in the pic with the MB estate (if that floats your boat) and the Starlet has under 40k miles on the clock, NCT'd until '19 and looks showroom fresh inside. The Land Cruiser had some "Dublin to Dakar" decals on it, looked well capable of having done it too, it appeared a bit more beefed up than the standard LC.

Love the landcruiser. High roof 60 series.

I don't think so - I had a look through that album, the LC I saw was dark coloured (couldn't say for sure if it was definitely black) - the 2 dark LCs in the link are 1990s, the one I saw was an '88. Thanks though, looks like an epic trip!
