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

Was in a showroom the other day buying a car and while they were looking at my car I went around looking and right there was a Chervolet step back pick up truck. Only had seen one on wheeler Dealers but to see one in the flesh was beautiful. Bought an I30 myself

Tax until June. Looks like it would come up lovely with a polish.

Very nice, 1986 so last of the old plates. Taxed and tested until August too.

Hi sorry for OT but how do you know it's taxed and tested... Is there somewhere online you can check?

driving Cork Dublin today saw an Opel Kadett and a Audi 80 (ancient one - not the one from the late 80s) and a 1990 toyota corolla - looked like there was some vintage yoke on - the Opel was in pristine condition

Spotted a Aston Marton DB4, 5 or 6 in my mirror on the M50 today. Got off at Dundrum I think.
Year was somewhere from 58-71 depending on the model.

Kaiser D · 01-04-2014 7:00pm

Just out of shot on the left, there was a red 87 Sierra hatchback, completely original. Anyone who knows the area should know the car, its lovely. Couldn't get to it in time

It was in a garage and doesn't seem to be taxed so probably not actually on the road.

Saw a lovely 77 C reg Mercedes 200e in cork sunday.

nd · 11-04-2014 11:09pm

A few more old yokes

Kaiser D · 11-04-2014 11:38pm

Old Toyotas have survived in large enough numbers down your way, nd.

nd · 11-04-2014 11:41pm

All those were from the local mart. I suppose Toyota's were popular with farmers back then.

1983 Mk1 Golf

Spike Witwicky · 12-04-2014 8:53am

Saw this 3.0S Capri in among the Golfs n Civics in Airside last night. Would love a black 2.8i

Old diesel · 12-04-2014 9:38am

Saw a Vauxhall/Opel Calibra this morning - it flew past our farmyard gate - hence why I don't know a) what year it was or (b an Opel or a Vauxhall.

The newest of them was around 97 or thereabouts - they came out in 1990.

Still a stunning looking car - why GMs beancounters didn't give it - its own chassis and make it a proper Corrado rival in the driving stakes ive no idea.

Didn't know this thread was here.

Last month I spotted a Mk II Escort, poverty-spec, hearing aid beige paint job that looked like it was done recently but with a yard brush (or else the shell was badly prepped prior to painting - looked 'lumpy') and a red rear plate - ZV I think.

Last weekend, a rather tired looking silver Toyota Carina II saloon - either 90 or 91. A delivery truck came between us so I couldn't see the plate as it moved away from the traffic lights.

Both spotted on the south quays in Cork.

A few more oldies

(last one 1990)

Kaiser D · 19-04-2014 10:56pm

Loving that Peugeot van nd!

Presumably still working for its keep too, which is nice to see!
