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

Oops!

He's still around alright as far as i know anyway up in Templederry. His sons are running the dealerships in Thurles, Nenagh and Roscrea.

Followed this briefly this evening. Know it to see locally, tidy 1 owner car & its diesel. It only lives about 1 km from the garage that sold it new, on the same stretch of road!

Have seen it myself many times, but difficult to get a shot of as it's always moving

2 from this week I could remember: E30 325i (in the same photo as the 508SW, Megane, Volvo V40, Seat Toledo, Dacia Dustbin and Landcruiser) and a Camaro facing 3 tumbledriers

I can't turn down the camera any more to eliminate glare

Took your photos and enhanced them just a bit:

I think the windscreen is marginally tinted already, has a purple hue off it in sunlight! Has a fade sunstrip built in

I'll have to spend some time getting the camera angle right

Starlet Nenagh

Saw a 1990 Toyota Carina at the rock of cashel earlier. No pic, looked like it was being held together with dirt.

Loving all the old Toyota posts but do you know all your pics are sideways?

My iPhone XS is getting repaired so I'm currently using Motorola One. It's the way they upload on here whether I take them landscape or portrait. Either Motorola or boards

I'll try screenshoting them. Might fix it

Trooper/big horn

Nekarsulm

Both that Trooper and the previous Fourtrak are rare enough survivors, rust ( and abuse) has taken most of them.

Mk1 Trooper is a rare bird alright, great spot

These Starlets and the Corrollas of that era were bombproof.

And on a recent unrelated note, a contact in a local convent has asked if I'd be interested in taking away an "old, broken" car. If memory serves its an ep80 Starlet; so I'm excited about that!

Oem wheels.

Are they? What wheels are they? I only caught a glimpse of the bonnet from a few cars ahead at the lights

I parked behind this the other day. Absolutely immaculate inside as well.

They're not extinct yet. I found a mating pair in captivity.

Standard on Trend II model 1995 to help sell them off because Brava/o were out.

No but that's probably where they came from. Yer man dabbles in starlets. I sold him my 98 one in 2010. I don't see him that often but when I do I'll ask him the story with those two.

Another Starlet for the collection:

She looks in immaculate condition - hard to believe she's over the 30 mark.
