No, not old cars in a state! Anybody got pics of old state/ government cars in service? Here's Mary Robinson's unusual choice of Alfa Romeo:

c.1991

That car has been scrapped since. There was some chat about it a few years back on a previous thread.

I always thought that was the best thing about Mary Robinsons time as President!

I'd like to see a picture of Charlie Haugheys 57 Chevy.
Theres a clip on Reeling in the years,with him driving it in to Irelands first

Those Roller headlights are very up to date looking now

Liked the little U na hE on the top of the Dodge

The Italian ambassador still uses a 164 Alfa
