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

Nekarsulm · 07-03-2019 04:59PM

Bright yellow Mk4 Cortina, and the yellow estate could be a Kadette.
Blue car to the left of the Solara could be an Ascona.
Right side of the yellow Cortina estate, probabbly an Audi 100, and beside that again it could be a Cortina estate. That back door/hatch looks very "Ford" looking.
Surprising number of estates....

The B17 is fairly vintage too.

That's Sally B, so picture is probably from Air Spectacular in Fairyhouse in 1983/84.

Trying to put my finger on the car left of the Talbot. I think you might be right

Ascona alright I'd say. Def a GM colour.

Judging by the headrest, in may be a Rekord, although I think that colour and the "earred" headrests cam in the facelifted and last E model.

EDIT: It's probably an Ascona C, as the Rekord usually had a chrome trim at the base of the windows.

Great photo!

Talbot Solara, Bluebird estate, Bluebird saloon and Datsun Cherry closest to the camera.

Tasty e21 3 series in front of the Bluebird estate too

Lots of Datsuns. There's a silver Sunny beside a yellow Ford Cortina MkIV. To the left of the Talbot, my money is an Opel Ascona C.

To the left of the e21 is a Ford Orion mk1, can just about see tail lights through the Datsun and I'm thinking a Carina II to the left of that. No mistaking the transit next to that.

Ah now, a Rekord would have a hideous red interior!

Renault Trafic or equivalent off in the distance under the plane

SmartinMartin · 07-03-2019 07:09PM

Toyota bj40 on the far side of the transit.

pablo128 · 07-03-2019 07:09PM

My dad had one of those big old Transits, in Post Office red. An ex mountain rescue van, 2.4 York engine. A right bag of sh1t for starting. And dog slow. But good memories of piling into the back and heading down to the mobile home in the summer.

Its definitely a Rekord - i can work out the shape of the rear door window - front door too.

In the next row (the one with the E21 3 series) the blue van is a Bedford CF, next to that is a Carina II (the 84 to 88 era), and then we have a Ford Orion - its got the brown tinted glass so is either a GL or a Ghia (id say GL most likely).

If the row with the Yellow Mk 4 Cortina is the one im thinking off...

Yellow Mk 4 Cortina, Datsun Laurel, silver Cortina Estate, yellow Kadette Estate.

The facelift was a cracking car for its size. Fun drive and extremely comfortable.

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