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…

BMW E23 1984 7 Series 3.5lt
Saw one of these and was talking to the owner who will be selling it shortly, his was in brown, in use and such a great sound on start up. And no picture or contact details.

Just an example

Nice car but something really needs to be done with the dreadful ZV number plates they look terrible.

I could post a 40 year old Saab I saw in Bray today, but technically I guess it's not a car

@ Duke - I've seen the gold MB190 twice in the last few days around Greystones.
The Panda is a daily driver - owned by the family who have the Gelateria on Bray seafront

I've posted photos of [most likely] this very car in Clarehall in the past, as recently as a month ago. Sorry to see it here. Not my pic
