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

Duke O Smiley

Jayo, that is a brilliant spot. Very very good find, thanks for posting.

I recall that exact car for sale about 12 or 18 months ago - 30odd thousand miles and one previous owner. I may have pictures of it from a local show around here

Ha thanks Duke I was actually more impressed with the charade in front of it in fairness but couldn't get a shot of it they are so rare to see on roads now

Mitsubishi Mirage. Used to love these!

A Charade in Arva today. It belongs to a pensioner and probably averages ten miles a week.
Don't know if I posted the Golf before or not.





Missed a Peugeot 206 van, I know there are some Francophiles out there!

84 Orion in good nick in Castlebar today.
I used to own one of these

This little Starlet this evening in Clontarf, driven by an older gent. Nice and original, just the way I like them!!

Day = made!

I've been meaning to snap this for ages now. It's a local car, and to say it is like new is nearly an understatement! A guy drove off in it a few minutes later, shopping in hand, and it sounded great.

1974 BMW 2002 Seemed to be a daily driver as well. There's an lovely Alfasud I've seen a couple of times around town that I must get a picture of. That seems more of a Sunday driver/ show car.

That beemer tho i love it... They go forever

Duke O Smiley

Indeed. Love the Bmw and the old reg.

^ great pics of the Golf 1 & 2002!

Merc 190 on the N11 Saturday

von Smallhausen

I spotted this one the other day after the driver decided to pull into the parking area of my work place to use his phone....ironically we are in an industrial estate with no public traffic...just delivery trucks..

I was told after it was a 1969 Rover 3500

**Sorry for the bad pic, I had to be quick in taking it**

Very nice! I saw a green BMW 2002 Touring a year ago in Blanchardstown. Unfortunately no pictures but I never even knew they had a Touring version :eek:

Rover TC nice to see its the three and a half litre V8 (if it's still in there) a lot of them were 2 litre which wasn't half as sweet to drive. Any of them were nicer to drive than my housemates fathers one they had in the 80's which had a Nissan laurel diesel conversion....talk about noisy!!!

I posted that one on thread a couple of months back. I saw it in Carrick on Shannon. The owner must live in the Leitrim/Longford area.

I see this one regularly at my local supervalu.

jayo26

Oh my hokey that 5 series is the dogs nuts I love it.


Ps I love old beemers incase ye haven't realised ha.

Haha, is it that noticeable?

I did indeed, a few weeks ago; I'm just gutted I didn't get the full car done! Flawless finish

She aint no cosworth but still nice to see a sierra out and not being ragged around a cone

Duke O Smiley

Clarehall again. Chalk n' cheese, funnily enough there are two Range Rovers that frequent here. This and an RZH reg, same colour. I don't know if it can be made out in the picture but there are TOYOTA STARLET decals on the bottom of the Starlet's door!
