When you live in a less than salubrious part of East London, you see older cars everywhere because they're cheap. Just in my street, there are half-a-dozen cars older than my J-reg Granny, including a D-reg Escort cabriolet and a G-reg Land Rover Defender. But the oldest I saw today was a Mk6 Bentley being used for a wedding.

It's Kop hillclimb weekend, so whilst on rounds around Princes Risbrough, spotted all sorts of vintage hillclimb and sprint cars making the way there.. oldest was a pre war mg I can beat that! On my way up from Reading to Kop Hill yesterday, I followed a 1922 Citroen B2. But, as Kop Hill is still a public road I'm going with the 1902 De Dion Bouton thqt ran up the hill first!

Was great seeing them being driven round the roads, even the 21st century stuff was a nice distraction

Citroen ZX, in gold with the original 4-hole wheel trims, not old but the only thing I saw that had the effect of taking me back to a previous era.
