could be Wishbone, or possibly a Messerschmit

junkyard · 09-05-2007 1:29pm

I'd say its a Heinkel bubblecar.

Revelation Joe · 09-05-2007 1:37pm

I'm with junkyard on that one, a Heinkel/Trojan but definitely not a Messerschmitt

EDIT - the red coupe in the TOP pic looks like a Peerless or Warwick GT. The blue veteran looks like a Model T of some sort.
And the blue veteran with the white hood in the second pic could be a Ford Model A

tc20 · 09-05-2007 1:40pm

@ Jozi - good lunchtime quiz

I'll go for the following:

1st post
1st row pic 2 - either a Model T, or a De La Haye
pic 4 - Gilbern Invader
2nd row last pic- Lagonda of some sort

2nd post
2nd row pic 3 - stumped, though i'd hazard a guess at American maker
3rd row pic 2 - Messerschmit/Heinkel/Isetta, one of the above

Blue850 · 10-05-2007 8:39am

The red coupe in pic 4 is a very rare car , a Turner GT one of only 10!. Triumph Herald based running gear with Ford Consul Classic engine. Produced around mid 60s. The book The A-Z of cars 1945-1970 is a mine of info:D

Spotted this Merc 230E in Mountmellick today, at a glance it looked to be nicely restored.

And just across the road was this late model Bedford CF van, import on 85 plate, haven't seen one in ages (thank God!

).

Jesus Merrion - could you not have got the rest of it?

Wishbone Ash · 15-05-2007 9:36pm

Mark II Ford Granada, with original Dublin registration, spotted in Swords today. (Somewhat spoiled by the unnecessary Euro plates).

franksm · 16-05-2007 7:56am

Nice - I love the Mk1 and Mk2 Granadas - very, very rare now though

Is that the Mk3 "blamange" Granada to the right in that pic ?

mike65 · 16-05-2007 4:32pm

There's a nice mk 1 coupe on carzone for about 5k (its the Blur Parklife example)

Mike.

i believe those plates are required for the NCT...I dont know why I think that .....

greglo23 · 16-05-2007 10:07pm

That only applies to cars registered after the 1st of January 1987. You can check it out in the NCT Manual PDF here http://www.ncts.ie/test.html

Max_Damage · 16-05-2007 10:36pm

I parked right next to a green '84 Mercedes 200D W123 at Nutgrove shopping centre today. It looked like it had been through the wars and back!

Only vehicles registered after the 1st Janurary 1991 are required to have the Euro style plates.

Vehicles registered between 1st January 1987 and 31st December 1990 are required to have black letters/numbers on a plain white reflective background.

junkyard · 17-05-2007 2:08am

Can the old style number plates be picked up on the speed camara's?

mike65 · 17-05-2007 7:06pm

Saw a nice looking early CX in Listowel, parked outside the house where an mk 1 white CX used to sit/slump. Obviously a fan

Mike.

ps sorry did I say slump, I meant 'rest'

V8Man · 19-05-2007 10:59pm

today in Naas...

:cool:

mike65 · 21-05-2007 7:12pm

superboy · 21-05-2007 8:03pm

Very Nice Jag - is it the XK150?? Worth a fair sum i'd say!!

Hifive · 21-05-2007 8:31pm

Looks like an XK 150 all right.
I saw that car in Waterford today as well, in the company of a silver E type.
I had the top down in the Stag and they both gave me a friendly wave.
Made me feel all warm and happy:rolleyes:

mike65 · 21-05-2007 8:48pm

I noticed a few rag top classics on the N25 today

Mike.

It is indeed an XK150 (according to www.mycarcheck.com).

Do-more · 22-05-2007 8:32pm

Was behind this original looking Daimlar in Clontarf today.

MercMad · 23-05-2007 9:22am

Early 911 I sppotted whilst out cycling. In good shape and looked well with Ace Plates. US spec model...........

This tidy looking Saab has been for sale outside a house in Emo Co. Laois for the last few weeks, priced at €3500 I think.

corktina · 24-05-2007 7:20am

saw some uk jags on sunday in mallow heading towards killarney

junkyard · 24-05-2007 1:00pm

I followed 2 white Triumph Stags on English plates to Youghal this morning, looks like they were heading to the ferry, needless to say Irish speed restrictions didn't apply to them.;) I got a photo but haven't figured out how to upload them onto my computer.

How did you manage to upload all the other pics?

RoundyMooney · 24-05-2007 6:40pm

Probably taken on a mobile.

Junk, if you mail it from your phone to yourself (if that's the case), you should get a usable image.

I'll try that so Roundy, thanks. How do you send it to yourself?:o

Send it as a message to my number, I can upload it.

DarenO · 24-05-2007 9:44pm

Saw 4 Dutch registered classics driving through Gorey town last sunday, Austin Healey 3000, Triumph TR3 and 2 MGs, sorry no pics, wasn't fast enough

Junkyard - defeated by the 21st century!

(know how you feel)

Mike.

junkyard · 24-05-2007 10:34pm

I'm not beaten just yet, it's just I have a phone that does everything I don't need it to do and everything I want it to do it doesn't want to. I'm seriously thinking of designing my own tbh. P.S. Justin P.M. me your mobile number, your number is in my old phone.:o

RoundyMooney · 24-05-2007 11:01pm

Send it to mine, I think Justin is gone offline

Abelloid · 25-05-2007 2:23pm

Sorry Junkyard, phone might have shrunk the pic

junkyard · 26-05-2007 11:53am

Thanks for your help Roundy and Justin.

jozi · 26-05-2007 4:19pm

Revelation Joe · 26-05-2007 5:30pm

A pale green Mustang convertible ('64 at a guess) in Monksland, Athlone this morning.
Not quick enough (again!) with the camera

Merrion · 27-05-2007 6:09pm

Some Jags

Merrion · 27-05-2007 6:15pm

And a Daimler ...

superboy · 27-05-2007 6:59pm

Must you tempt us so, with such forbidden fruits??!!! are they yours?

Unfortunately not - my own GT6 is languishing beyond economic repair in the UK

I also saw this today:

MercMad · 28-05-2007 9:15am

I also saw a Stag on UK plates in Malahaide. It was dirt and wasn't worth a photo IMO !

I did see a beautiful original Irish Reg'd Rolls Royce Silver Cloud 1 near the Airport. Lovely maroon over silver with the reg WZL XXX

mike65 · 29-05-2007 6:48pm

Mike.

Today I saw a classic and took a pic thread!
