Subaru Justy was the last carbureted car in the UK. Chevrolet Corvette still has leaf springs.

I reckon BMW has to be high up for tape players.

Distruibutor, maybe the nissan micra? The K11 used them up to 1999 or so.

Sealed headlights? MX5? Mini?

My 02 plate Ibiza Cupra has a cassette player!

Many 'poverty spec' small VW/Seat creations, like the Lupo and Polo will have possibly had cassette player up to an '05 reg when the Lupo died out.

You were lucky. Dad's 53 plate Impreza WRX had an 8 track.

Was in a 2009 Corolla Saloon in Egypt last week that had a tape-player yikes as well as CD changer in dash. 1600cc auto...... full leather. Smooth as you like. Odd spec level

Lexus SC 430 was the last car fitted with a cassette. They were still fitted with them until last year, of course they had a CD player as well.
