Default Oldest car you've recently seen

Which old classic cars have you recently seen on the road?

I saw a D Type Jag the other day which must have dated back to c. 1956

It is the one with the huge fin behind the driver and it sounded lovely.

I don't see many old Alfas, Vauxhalls or Audis around though.

I see quite a few around my way and on the commute to and from work. The nice weather has brought many out. However I can cheat as Racing Green is just across from my office so see many classics parked up there. A very clean mk2 Jaguar was sitting there yesterday, was stunning with its chromed wire wheels. In the last week I have seen a 3 wheeler Morgan and last night what looked like a boat tail Bugatti, but was probably a quality kit car, still looked impressive what with the driver wearing period goggles!

I keep seeing something very similar to this.


And there is also a vintage lorry/van type thing around here I keep seeing as well.
