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

Spotted this Today.

Action shot from Cavan town, 8.30 this morning.
Had to zoom in a good bit, so quality has suffered.
He wasn't holding up traffic, that's for sure....

recent north Wicklow sightings.
The Renault iirc is a low miler (less thank 100k)
There's a bonus VW Combi in the RR pic
The Fiat's a youngtimer really, but a rare enough sight; this battle scarred model would still give the Duke a horn

That Merc is a lovely spot.

That Renault was up here before, or possibly for sale?

Nice Clubman in Kimmage, raging I didn't get the front...

It's more Lexus LS400 than Mercedes really

My da and Ronnie Drew both bought Honda Legends in the same colour as that one in 1999. They're class cars, would love one

Jeez not the best purchase. Would have had terrible resale value I'd say. Unless they were planning on keeping them for 10 years would have been better to buy a Lexus, BMW, Mercedes; Volvo, SAAB or even an Audi. Fair play to them do for going outside that Box.

But I don't know when I last saw a Chrysler Neon.
Cavan town today.

A rare sight indeed.
They weren't pretty new, and time has not been kind to them either.
Looks like a slightly shrunken, melted, Mark2 Mondeo

Ronnie had a Maxima previously, my da had an Audi A6. The Legend occupied a weird place in the market, not quite up there with the S Class etc but didn't quite fit in with the Maxima, Camry etc.

It was much better spec'd than most Irish S Classes of the time anyway. First car I was ever in with a built in sat nav in the dash. The height of technology back then.

Ooh baby

Couldn't tell you the last time I saw an Avensis estate. Yikes.

Not that rare to see a Bora but I haven't seen one in this Gold colour for ages.

I actually think the further away you are looking at them the better they look the nearer the worse. The revamped version which that one is looked better outside but I prefer the dash of the pre revamp one not that it was anything great either. A bit kind of a like saying that you would prefer cancer instead of HIV.
A nice blue do.
