    ^ I'd say that truck is some sort of Dodge.

    A couple of voitures sans permis (literally, cars without licence) which I understand derives from the time when such light and small vehicles didn't require the driver to be licenced etc. Nowadays, such vehicles carry registration plates and the driver does indeed require a normal driving licence to operate such a vehicle.

    Examples here are the Microcar MC2 and the Chatenet CH26.........

    They have the same system here in Sweden, although here they do not need registration plates. But as they are a slow moving vehicle they need a large reflective red triangle on the back. I'm not here that long so I don't know all the ins and outs yet but from what I understand they are limited to 30 or 45Km/h depending on the category. They can be driven from 15 years old on a tractor driving licence and so are referred to as "tractors" In addition to the French microcar it is possible to fit any car with a speed limiter as long as it is only a two seater so you get Volvo 740 estates which have been cut down like a pick up but the favorite choice is old Volvo pick ups which are rodded and a large stereo system appears to be compulsory!

    They are the true personification of "all show and no go"

    The old pre '73 number plates are not valid for road use and all pre '73 registered vehicles were issued with new plates in the current format during 1974. The only place you see the old format numbers is in a museum or at a show and the likes.

    You can check the vehicle details of any Swedish plate at this site for free. (Google Chrome or Google toolbar will translate it for you)

    now at a much more reasonable price. I'd be interested myself at the new price if I was looking for a retro cruiser.

    In cork sunday, one of many!


    Pretty plain but beautiful nonetheless! 1975, and a bit of rust on the drivers door.

    Also spotted a moris minor, traveller, some Model t type, and a couple others between cork city and red strand.

    i can remember my dad had one of these in the mid 60s but the roof lifted to the right side,even though the i was young at the time it was still a tight fit in the back seat.i can remember it snowed and was very cold one morning and he went out and put the electric heater under the engine to get it warmed to start it.
    would be a nice car to have now.
    that looks like a tiger i think they were called ?
