When was the last time you saw?

For this segment, the topic is all about cars that used to be common here but now only pop up once in a blue moon. I'll start.
When was the last time you saw a Ford Cortina?

I took this pic a few months back knowing it'll be a long time until I spot one in running condition
Post up!

Ford Cortina? I think it was 1994. It was ours. We sold it to an uncle of mine who converted it to a taxi and then just let it rot by the side of the road. Haven't seen one since.

Here's mine. When was the last time you saw a 70s Toyota Celica?

In auto shows, you get to see one every year. Out in the wild though, it's a different story. Last time I saw one out in the wild was last year. A friend bought it secretly because he totaled his Civic a few months before that. It was rusty, leaky and had a lot of holes. He thought his parents would never get him a car again but his luck turned and got a new car eventually. He eventually sold the Celica to a restorer. The car was named Victoria. Why? Because it was a secret (from his parents). I haven't seen a TA22 since then

When was the last time you saw a Yutivo? Brief History of Yutivo: They used to manufacture and distribute GM vehicles in the country. If I'm not mistaken, it was run by local racing legend Yu Beng Tek.

This is a mid-70's Chevy Malibu built/distributed by Yutivo

Picture from MuscleCarsPH. Check out their forum. You'll be surprised just how colourful the country's car history is. We had pretty rocking motors back in the day

From big and thirsty to small and thrifty, when was the last time you saw a VW Brasilia?

It was may father's first car. He drove that thing pretty hard, killing the syncromesh in the process.

Wow JoHunter, you from UK or one of the Commonwealth nations? ---- you drive at the left-hand side of the road (right-hand steering)

[Aloha Milkyway]

I think he's using it for reference my friend

Ahoho 

No pun-intended....
At a hindsight "Jo" or "Joe" is sometimes referred to as American, kaya "JoHunter" may colloquially mean "American Hunter", kaya it's off if he's from the UK or from a commonwealth nation ---- unless it means he's hunting Americans haha!  ....which is not the case, of course.

How I miss the old days. I really love vintage cars. My dream is to collect them someday, especially from the 70's era. Thanks for the share everyone.

We used to own a car similar to that of the pic. We sold it to our neighbor. It's still up and running...and pimped.
