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

Kaiser D · 2013-10-19 22:30:02

Been out and about today and came across a rather quiet housing estate with some incredible examples of auto****e in almost every garden and I started thinking to myself you just don't seem to see many older cars on the roads these days. I even notice 96 reg cars are thinning out on the roads today, I'll always take notice…

Just happened to notice there that we still have the Haynes Manual - the two Escorts my folks had were both gotten rid of by circa. 2003 IIRC, so I was surprised we still have this. If anyone can find use for it, feel free to PM me.

Can you hold that? I know a lad who might use it. If he already has one I'll let you know tomorrow.

Great find

That one has been in the elderly drivers ownership since 2000. I’ve been watching it for years. Lovely to see a car like this knocking about.

a couple of regular if not daily drivers spotted in Greystones.
The Golf is a very well kept example, nice colour too.

The E34 in the driveway behind it looks like it might be a nice one!

6.7 litre petrol engine and €56 a year motor tax, what's not to like

I'd say upkeep is huge but when up and running a dream to drive.
