Old cars that you still see on a regulary basis
Discussion
So to go from the other thread about older cars you don't see anymore what older cars that you spot on a regular basis.
For me still see plenty of mk1 mx5 considering even the youngest version is 17 years old still see plenty around, classic mini again plenty of them around apart from them can think of many older cars that I spot on most days even stuff like the mk2 mr2 don't see that often.

I don't see that many at all to be honest, for some reason I started looking for cars the same age as mine (1998) and noticed there were virtually none. Even the default cheap Corsa / Fiesta that students drive are much newer (2002 onwards).
Although there is a bloke at work with a 1997 A4, so that is something!

Bizarrely, Classic Saab 900s. Not just cos I have one, mind. There's always been a house we pass on the way to Sainsbury's that has a classic and a newer 9-3. A 5 door is seen around town and at my work in a sea of black/ silver/ grey diesel Audis and Freelanders there's not one, but two classic 900s. A red and a black pair of coupes.
Corsa Bs seem to cling to life for a slightly above average time too. Later ones seem to look scruffy along door bottoms and boot lid, but the sills and floor seem to be OK.

The 20 year old, gold stripy cockroach that was never even officially imported to the UK but continues to infest every corner of the country.
I bought one 5 years ago to fulfil a purpose, tragically unfashionable, but I still own it as it is probably the most reliable thing in my life.
Surely that meant to read "gold stripy COACHWORK" not cockroach ? The 20 year old, gold stripy cockroach that was never even officially imported to the UK but continues to infest every corner of the country.

Nissan Primeras. I thought my T Reg Shedscort was doing well, but this weekend I've spotted both a K and an L Reg Primera, one in disgusting beige and the other in white.
K10 Micras
The occasional Omega, plus numerous Volvo's of Mid 90's vintage.
I did also spot a B Reg Fiesta yesterday at Martelsham Tesco's in blue, but was obviously a cared for / slightly modified example as the Boot was smoothed out along with other subtle bodywork changes.
