I haven't heard "condenser" for "capacitor" for a long time. I'll
have to look at my really old engine books to see when it last showed up.

Any vehicle w/ a distributor/points system...auto parts lookup is still
the common name (at least in US; don't know for certain what the Brits
used).

Not sure when production in US finally would have ceased, trucks were
exempt from some of the more onerous emissions reqm'ts for a while after
automobiles so therein is probably where the last would have been.

Off-road equipment, of course, lasted for quite a lot longer.

Condensers are still quite commonly found on vehicles on the roads in
this side of the US.
