Now I know that 1990 was over 20 years ago but for me it was a significant year as it was the year I got my license. As with most P platers back then we either drove our parents cars or purchased our own cars. our choices of cars reflected our financial situations, most cars age being our own +/- 5 years. This is probably still true of most of todays P platers, putting them in early 90's commodores, Hyundai's and corollas .
Tasmania is different to Melbourne. I have seen cars here that are no longer existent on the mainland, most having been crushed. These cars are reasonably maintained and obviously cherished. Interestingly most of the surviving cars are Japanese, perhaps better made in the first place than many Australian made cars
I have used my Iphone to snap some pics of these cars around Hobart. classic but not necessarily desirable.
