No, I don't mean the actual vehicles which Cazalea records in his really terrific series of posts ( which are the first things I look at when one comes up ) but the age of the vehicles.
Clearly some of them are parked up, but the majority appear to be in use on the road even though many of them date back 30, 40,50 and more years.
In the UK, as Cazelea knows from personal experience, it is rare to see a vehicle on the road that is 20 years old. In our current system, a vehicle's age can be identified by a 2 digit sequence on the registration plate.As of September 2016 that was 66. In March 2017 it will be 17. Then in September 2017 it will be 67 and in March 2018 it will be 18.and so on. My own car carries an 03 plate so most people here would call that an old car.
What accounts for so many of the cars we see in Cazalea's posts being still in use and in such good condition?
Spotted: Cars to crow about
Very cool, thanks for all the photos...
Yes - door handles and trim shaved off, lowered, big tires - too bad it looks abandoned
