Anyone got anything older?

[Phil Siddall]

My other old car is a 1926 1100cc Derby, a slightly obscure French car. 

3 speeds, crash box, and central throttle; a very different car to drive, although it does have 4-wheel brakes.

No diff, so tends to understeer, but very good on loose surfaces.

Can't beat that! My first car was a 30s Austin 7, ignition advance and retard hand controlled by a lovely brass rheostat in the middle of the steering wheel. One windscreen wiper, also hand operated. Bought it for £10, then realised the front wheel arches were off another car not an Austin 7! Sold it, to my father's great relief, a month later for £15. Then bought a Morris Mini Countryman for £215, great car!

1955 Jaguar XK140 FHC with steel wheels and spats. My triumph is 1967 Vitesse 2.0 Saloon built November 1966 and believed possibly oldest 2.0 on the road. These are my two classics which I drive every week.
