These top 7 cars amongst others ruled our Nigerian roads back in the days..

Let’s know the one you loved or drove. . Add yours if your choice is not on this list.

For those who don’t know these cars.. come pay your dues to the elders.

1 – Volkswagen Beetle

2 – Peugeot 504

3 – Peugeot 505

4 – Mercedes Benz 280

5 – Volkswagen Santana

6 – Volvo 240/244

7 – Nissian 120y
I think that vehicle is Mercedes 230 E

Ahmeduana:
Mercedes Benz 280 or MERCEDES BENZ 230?
Mayflowa:
The Mercedes Benz is 230 not 280. I had Mercedes Benz 230 and I have never seen that of 280

These are vintage cars! Beetle aka Azubuike, Peugeot 504 and 505 cars, including Volvo 240 ruled Nigerian roads in da days. Infact, Peugeot 504 and 505 saloon cars were once official vehicles of top government officials, including High Court Judges at the time. The poster forgot to add Citroen and Peugeot 404, though.

I remember my dad (God bless his soul) purchased a brand new Santana after he fell in love with its display at the Trade fair in lagos. He always had this smell of "newness" when he returns from work back then. And we would chant "daddy is smelling of Santana Santata" smiley
