Things tend to turn the corner at 20. When was the last time you saw a Mondeo or Escort pre '97 reg?

No surprise but the best place to see cars over 20yrs old in regular use is your local supermarket car park. Even my 83yr old mum is still driving her one-owner, 55k '97 Honda Civic. She did 800 miles between the last two MOTs, almost all back and forth to the shops.

But with so few of any marque left after 20yrs old there's usually someone out there who will want to save it (if it's a good one) yet five years early the same car would have been happily dispatched to the crusher without a 2nd thought.
