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

Saw a whole bunch of Classic Citroens today in Clonmel and across the Vee. Including a 1948 Traction Avant, a DS Decap and numerous others including my 1955 Traction.

Not that old but not too common these days

That 93 Ford is interesting - id say looking at the plate (early 93 judging by the number)

Its the 92 facelift model of the Escort and Orion - but it was around mid/late 93 afaik that Ford started calling the Saloon version of the Escort - an Escort.

So a pretty late version of a Ford Orion

Would have thought a 91 would have come with the big bumpers?

Seen a 1970 Alfa Romeo with the reg '1 Z' this evening, looked in great condition. Anyone know it?

Sobanek · 06-07-2014 2:21am

Has anyone seen that awesome 92 Renault 25 2.0 Multipoint Injection on the M7 today?

gammygils · 06-07-2014 2:44am

Unfortunately no

- wasn't anywhere in that direction.

I always thought the R25 looked nice - my brother had one and it was like a great big 3 piece suite on wheels

.

Both the R25 and the Safrane (he had one of those too) that replaced it had cool dashboards too.

3rd Golf in a week, years ago a salesman in Brady's told me that without the Golf and Jetta, they could close the garage doors!

That Touring is class, they are almost non-existent on the roads here.

H3llR4iser · 10-07-2014 5:54pm

Was behind what looks like a very well minded red Mercedes 300SL ('89) on the link road yesterday

Kaiser D · 11-07-2014 5:46pm

Local car driven by an OAP couple. Its in lovely condition and has nearly a year's tax.

daveohdave · 11-07-2014 6:04pm

Kaiser D · 11-07-2014 6:29pm

daveohdave · 11-07-2014 9:05pm

I've always had a soft spot for Tipos, can't explain it.

My old man bought about 8 of them in a row in the 90's. Good cars bar one which was a total lemon that Fiat replaced after a year. They had great interior space as a result of the boxy shape.

Saw a mark 1 Fiesta in immaculate condition on a ZV plate this morn in Portmarnock. Young fellow driving it. Fair play to him.

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