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

Yeh the 93 models had a real nice spec because of the corsa b was introduced. That 1.2 model had the same fuel injected engine as the corsa b.

A few interesting bits from the spectators car park at the Mosney car show today.

A few interesting bits at the show as well that I thought a few on here might want to see.

Loved this ladder hatch on the R4. Left hand drive

I've also spotted both Duke O Smiley's Tipo and fancy pidgeon's Merc around my local Coolock area over the last few weeks. HI! :P

Been keeping an eye out for Duke's Tipo but still haven't spotted it.

You should see it around eventually...it gets used everyday around the locale and beyond

Apologies for the rubbish photos here - but edited as best I could to get a couple of decent shots. Really nice to see an older van still working for it's keep. I have seen this around the locale a few times but never had the chance to snap a shot. It is in great shape, as you would expect from a body repair specialist I suppose..

In Bailieboro today. Not sure, but could be one of the "Mosiac" interior conversions Westfalia sold for DIY converters.

@Nekarsulm, do you use a camera or camera phone for your photos? Your photos are always of great quality in comparison to my rather grainy attempts

Hi Duke, I have a little Fuji Z20 compact camera that I keep in the car. Its handy because to switch it on, you just slide the cover across. No buttons to hold down etc. and you can turn it on without looking down at it. nec.

Great feature to have. I have a Nokia 6650 on the desk beside me here and it has a lens cover that you slide down and the camera app appears and you're ready to take a pic before you even look at it. Then manufacturers got obsessed with making phones thin and all the same shape

That's a Polaroid camera you got there sir

Nekarsulm

Fuji Z20.
I confess I bought it without looking too much at its features.
It has a ten megapixel sensor, i know the guy in the camera shop, and most importantly, the black and chrome version looks like something off Star Trek.

also posted these in the classic section, but I reckon they can fall into both camps -

Seen today. Very clean, love this shape.

There was one of those for sale in Tallaght a few years ago. I wonder is it the same one?

It very well could be, there can't be too many around!

This same place had a Cortina Starcraft about two years ago. I had a photo, and lost it

Love that shape Hiace. I used to get a lift to college in the van version, petrol too:eek: unheard of nowadays. Possibly the worst headlights (excluding the Fiat 128) I've ever witnessed. Got it..5247 MI was its number, the guy bought it new.
