Good spot there Jayo. I had that Carinas younger brother, an 01 Avensis in exactly the same colour with white Speedlines. There can't be too many of them still around all the same.

I would love the see both cars with period wheels for them because otherwise they look soo untouched and look lovely.

The '85 looks great. I am genuinely waiting for someone to spot me some day and put my wheels up on this.

An imported BMW.
I spotted the coolest looking merc jeep today, all black finish and black interior, had to have been 20 or more years old, foreign reg in mint condition. It was savage but couldn't take a picture as the owner was there and I would have looked stalker like. It had really old skool headlamps. I wouldn't know the model but a bit of googling might solve that.

Something like this: (obviously older)

My parents 900 S, which has just been taken out of storage. Its done 200 miles in the last decade, so its due a bit of recommissioning. Bar the (new!) paint chip on the front bumper its a very clean and very original example of a 900. They have a 16v Mk3 Golf for a bit of fun, this is just a bit more reserved. It turned 20 in January too. Spitfire spotted today too and posted in the classic section.

It was probably the g wagon it's been around for 30 years and only small upgrades on the exterior still a lovely looking jeep. They did one on wheeler dealers a few years back updated the front end to a newer version it was nice.

It's been parked up in the same spot for a couple of weeks now.

Few i've spotted over the last while, the Jag was Delish followed it from the N32 to the Airport roundabout, I dont know if the recovery truck purposefully followed ahead or not

Duke O Smiley · 31-03-2017 04:26PM

That's a very late RR classic

Surreptitious · 31-03-2017 05:54PM

Saw a silver 88 Starlet yesterday but alas, no pictures. It was in good repair and being used.

90 Toyota Corrolla. Having issues embedding so sorry for link.

Duke O Smiley · 02-04-2017 12:36PM

Nice! Looks like a van?

Surreptitious · 02-04-2017 12:46PM

It's a car but it has a rather long body. It's not in bad shape.

Nice spot what road is it parked on if you recall? Same year engine and probably color as my own except mine is a touring!

I plan on visiting monkstown and bray soon enough to meet the relatives .

To answer that would take a new thread

If you ever get the chance, go. Everything about Morocco is great.

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