Not exactly vintage
Mrs. wmak's 2010 Matrix. Cheapest car on the lot, already recalled and refitted, so as not to stick the accelerator. The way she drives, one would never know if it were sticking anyway.

Well, my four wheel vehicle is a 1992 Toyota Estima...

It's an eight seater (but I took the back row out, so now it's a five seater with room in the back for me Vespa I have carried two standard mopeds at the same time before now...

Oh, and I often run it on straight veg oil. Far more carbon neutral than even the biodiesel or electric vehicles mentioned earlier in the thread (that electricity is usually generated with fossil fuels...)

Cool thread, some great cars.

I have a 1959 Series II Austin Lancer. I've owned her since 1998, and in that time, I have seen just one other in the flesh. She is much loved, we call her "Nell" (after a very elderly former neighbour, who passed a couple of years ago).

3 owners since new. Have all the documentation, original tool kit. Even found some political brochures, RAC documentation, book on WA road rules, maps and newspapers all from 1960 and 1961 in the boot.

I don't have any photos handy, unfortunately, so this will have to do:
