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

.

Had even the scobes stopping to have a gander

Every time I see one of those I mentally kick myself up the hole. When the factory shut they were being sold off for £1500. I himmed and hawed a bit, and bought an escort instead.

Bang of XJS from that angle

Never noticed that before

Few I seen in recent times ..

Seen a mint 93 Sierra Sapphire in town today. Didn’t get a pic but I will soon as it’s around quite a bit. Same chap has had it from new or very close to new. Owner lives in Cahir Co Tipp

the Fiat is a regular driver.
The Mercedes camper has been converted from some sort of a service vehicle; it still had the city crest on its sides

I'm sure I saw Cortina (and maybe some of the others) in the Swords show (is that possible Outlaw Pete? Where they spotted, near there?)


E]

not recent according to the owner

I think Duke posted this up before but it was outside his house that time. I absolutely am besotted with these after being swarmed by them in Japan last year when I was over at the RWC. Definitely gonna try get one imported over the next year or so.

If that’s the right car it belongs to the owner of a Chinese takeaway in Swords. Pretty sure there’s two of them going around Dublin!

DAMN!

I drove by and saw he had a parking permit on the window and I was gonna see where he lived to have a creepy ask of him one afternoon as I casually wandered by the car.

That definitely looks worse than how I felt it was when I was thinking it earlier. :D:D:D:D:D:D

excuse me ?

The original post looks like a statement but then the question mark at the end would seem to make it look like a question. Suppose there is confusion around whether it is a statement or a question.

@cortinacrazy - we are all confused by the ? you placed at the end there.

Can you confirm that this is your Cortina?

And if so, it's lovely. Did you show it at Swords last year or the year before?

Yes it's his, one of the best known and most traveled Cortinas around.

I don't really know much about old cars but I saw this earlier.. thought it looked interesting the make on the back says "Hunter"
