New old cars

Recommended Posts

Which “old” cars are still in production today?

Heres a few I can think of,

Lada Niva, started production in 1977, still available in many countries and largely unchanged. Spotted a couple around Dubai and was pretty surprised. Can only guess the owners are from the Soviet bloc.

Peugeot 405. Started production in 1987 in Europe and ended in 1997. However, you can still go to Iran or Egypt and buy a brand new one.

Hindustan Ambassador. Started production in 1958, still possible to buy a new one now in 2018.

Morgan 4/4. The worlds longest running production vehicle, started in 1936.

Land Cruiser 70. Started in 1984. In your local Al Futtaim today.

Lotus 7. Started in 1957, still available today under the Caterham brand.

Slight correction, as al futtaim doesnt have LC70, it's the omani dealer who sells and that too short one with 2 door and not this long, ambulance version.

You should also add defender, mercedes g55, that has been there since forever without any major change

I think you meant the G-class in general? G55 was around for only 9 years...
Also, it got a facelift this year so I also think that doesn't count anymore!?

@Allstar really? All those pickups come from Oman? I never knew that. 

 

 

It's always fun to watch those pickups in large delivery trucks on road... There's probably like 10-12 in a truck and there could be 2-3 trucks together. Will snap a picture next time when I see one for this thread

To add to the list, Maruti Suzuki Omni (1984-present) and Gypsy (1985-present) in India

Both of them are very popular cars there and still in production.
Gypsy in India is like the G class in UAE.

also the Jimny!? though it got like a facelift recently

HM Ambassador's production stopped in 2014
