Unless they were covered in FeathersThey were always polished within an inch of their lives by Barry certainlyfrom what I can remember they were still at least 5 years old, which I suppose was nearly new by LOTSW standards..

Didn't Roz drive a fairly new car?
You're right she did and so did Nellie, but again I think they were still 5 years old.

Roz had five different cars, over five series, making 11 appearances. Each car generally appears to be about a year old. She had a cream coloured 1999 Daihatsu Sirion+, a blue 2000 Ford Ka 3, a silver 2001 Ford Ka Mk1 Sun, a silver 2000 Renault Clio Grande, and a blue 1995 Peugeot 306 XL.
Nelly had four cars over five series - in 12 appearances, plus a motorbike. She had a grey 2005 Focus Lx Auto, orange 2006 Peugeot 1007 Dolce Semi-Auto, blue 2006 Peugeot 1007 Sport Semi-Auto, silver 2009 Mercedes A150 Elegance SE, and a 1996, Kawasaki GPZ500S, motorbike.
@theatrically_inclined - Thanks for that, your knowledge is clearly better than mine! I suppose it's difficult to age the cars when rewatching as you don't know when exactly the episode was made.
You can normally reckon between Easter and end if August for external filming, the year before we get to see it
Thanks Terry, I was more referring to the timelessness of the episodes, as Summerwineland is it's own wonderful world there are very few indications to what year it is.

My family have been in various bits of the transport / motor trade - but not me ... My interest is generally the aesthetics! But I have spent most of the last 12 months researching Summer Wine, not just the vehicles!
