I'm thinking that some of them are quite old and look like they could be in regularish service. Here all we want is the latest shiny plate on something, anything.....

Yep and another one of the big reasons is they don't have price gouging insurance companies or as big payouts from compo culture to nearly the same degree as here. It's much cheaper to run an older car in most of Europe.
Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

I remember years ago my neighbouring farmer drove a Citroen CX into my father's yard for myself and brother to drive around in. It was the coolest thing we ever saw at the time watching the suspension in the back rising up. I can't for the life of me remember what became of it..
