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

I remember I seen a really original 93 D petrol Red color Toyota Carina Estate parked at NUIG in Galway over the summer, had only 25,000 miles on the clock. Everything was original, hubcaps, number plates, stickers, it was gone faded red. Looks like it was kept in a garage as a summer car or something. Like this one but black bumpers. Anyone know it? Possibly it was on a visit from Dublin as it was parked in visitor campus accommodation parking.

Not the oldest cars or on the road, just not being used.

Venerable old thing in Dublin 8 (and a Merc near Christ Church)

tidy '92 Land Cruiser.
Had a brief chat with the owner, 2.4 litre, Jap import - so it has all the toys, he's had it for 16/17 years, flies through the test every year with no bother.

That land Cruiser IS clean for what it's used for, doesn't look like it's used for popping down to Dunnes..

Another one of those pau/Nissan things in town yesterday. Can't make up my mind whether they're classics or not;

If it ever becomes surplus to requirements i can re-home it

All jokes aside, fair play for keeping it going. that was probably one of the very last of them.

Looks mint.

Hopefully my puma will feature here in a few years if i can save it from the demon that is rust

Not quite "on the road" but out in public and still being used as wedding cars I've been told.

The fake classic that has come of age!

That's just it, can't make up my mind if they're classics or not. They're making some price though!

No pic unfortunately as I forget to get it off my dashcam - 92 D 3xxxx white Nissan Sunny 5 door hatchback spotted around Cavan town. The 4 door saloon and 3 door hatch are familiar and there are still a few about but I had forgotten that the 5 door "liftback" hatch ever existed!
