    Oldest Beer Fridge

    I am going to throw out a challenge, and claim that I would have the oldest working beer fridge.

    I have had this for 39 years, and I can date it to about MY 1958.

    Can anyone beat this.

    PS. It lives in a very hostile environment, but If kept defrosted in summer it still provides ice cold beer.

    Dave.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."


    1983 RR gone (wish I kept it)
    1996 TDI ES.
    2003 TD5 HSE
    1987 Isuzu County

    I am not claiming that I have the oldest in the world.I know there would be thousands around older. My claim is oldest for this forum.

    Well bugger me. It is the same fridge, so would be the same vintage. Mine works ok in my shed on a 40 degree day, which it would be 45 inside with the sun on the roof

    It produces cold beer so that is what matters. Do we dread about how much fuel our Landies use?
