Hi All

Took few pictures today

dubtom · 09-06-2006 12:08am

Saw a couple of Mustangs recently, a silver one today which sounded nice coming over the railway bridge at clonsilla and one I've seen a few times is parked at parkgate street a lot. A light blue coloured soft top.No pics I'm afraid.

Ferrari F355 in petrol station in Rush, Co. Dublin 10 minutes ago.

1952 Tatra T600 "Tatraplan" (in RHD)

Tatra T613

MercMad · 20-06-2006 11:29am

Wow that green one is a wild looking car ! I hope he brings it to Terenure, though I hope he changes those awful plates beforehand !

Squirrel · 20-06-2006 11:33am

Is that one of the rear engined Tatra's? The rear engined Tatra's killed more German officers than the Polish (I think) army during WW2, they were killed going around wet bends too quick and crashing.

The T600 has a rear mounted 1952cc air-cooled 4-cylinder.
The T613 has a rear mounted 3.5 litre air-cooled V8.

mike65 · 20-06-2006 5:29pm

Tatra T613 looks like a Talbot Horizon that got away!

Mike.

ds20prefecture · 20-06-2006 8:23pm

You have to see one in the flesh. They are a big car, with a lot of presence. I didn't know the T600 had a 4 cylinder - I thought they were all 8s.

el tel · 21-06-2006 10:36am

Yesterday evening in Belfast was stuck in traffic behind this chubby looking AM DB4 saloon. The smell from the exhausts was nauseating.

junkyard · 25-06-2006 5:16pm

A Triumph TR4 I think in Watergrasshill.

mike65 · 25-06-2006 6:30pm

I gonna have to ban phonecam shots!

Mike.

Abelloid · 25-06-2006 9:50pm

Ahh, ban my arse

Kintarō Hattori · 27-06-2006 12:18am

Saw this the other day on the quays. Sorry for the camera phone shot Mike, we don't always have our 'proper' camera's ready!

Does anyone know what it might be? I'm sure it's american and something like duesenberg or something along those lines..... you know what I'm trying to say!

junkyard · 27-06-2006 12:25am

It looks like an Auburn Speedster but I'd say its a replica, the real one costs a mint. There's a guy near me has a Ferrari Daytona replica, it looks very well but if you ask for a look under the bonnet he shys away, it sounds like a Nissan Vanette and it should be a V12.:D

Kintarō Hattori · 27-06-2006 12:29am

Heh Heh, what's the point so! I hate that, all show and no go!

I've been meaning to ask you about that daytona

MercMad · 27-06-2006 9:59am

No thats not an Auburn ! An Auburn Speedster is a far taller looking machine, though there is one on Dublin in regular use !

That one does look like a boat tailed Duesenberg to me, and if its real its worth a fortune !

Lets hope its at Terenure !

Kintarō Hattori · 30-06-2006 12:38am

Saw this on Capel Street yesterday morning about 9:25am. It really does look fantastic in the flesh. I think the year on it was '69. I've seen it there once or twice before with a Jensen Interceptor.

ds20prefecture · 30-06-2006 12:48am

I saw the same corvette in Glenageary the other day. Looks in good condition, from a distance.

I took some photos of a blue Jensen Interceptor in D4 on Sunday night, unfortunately the pics suck a bit (problems with the flash...) so I'm holding out to get improved ones before posting as they aren't much better than a phone cam would take (:p mike65)

Kintarō Hattori · 01-07-2006 1:08am

G'ssss Capel Street is proving to be a real goldmine on my way to work in the morning. Saw this Volkswagen yesterday.

coolcon · 02-07-2006 1:10pm

Yesterday I saw a 1950's Standard Pennant in Carlow town, I saw 4 of these JBA's at the West-Link Toll Plaza and then a 1970 Capri up in Dublin. The JBAs were very unusual - I only found out what they actually were when I gave a description on another forum. Heres the JBA site if you dont know what Im talking about - www.jbacars.co.uk . I got a photo of one of them on my phone. The photos not great because we were just after coming out of the Toll plaza when I saw them so we were whizzing away! Ill try get it up later.

corelon · 03-07-2006 11:42am

I must say nice cars but id rather not have a number plate like the BMW has!!!!!

He's tempting fate with that one alright !! Can't say I'd be too keen to park in a shopping centre car park either though.......

junkyard · 03-07-2006 2:48pm

I remember seeing a hearse and the reg. number was 15 RIP.:)

corktina · 03-07-2006 5:03pm

i know someone with the number IU 2...should try to sell it to Bono i think.....

Blue850 · 03-07-2006 5:41pm

Seen a great reg for a Triumph 'PI 25' on a Toyota Cressida. ZV666 is on a Merc Fintail, looks very sinister. I'v got a 127 1300 GT with the reg GSI27

MercMad · 04-07-2006 9:18am

I've seen that BMW before..............where was the photo taken ?

Mr. Presentable · 04-07-2006 9:52am

My Da used to have a photo of a car with the reg EIE 10.
It was on a farm in the 70's I think.:D

Blue850 · 04-07-2006 11:06am

Blue850 · 05-07-2006 8:36am

I think the car in the shed is a Chrysler Hillman Hunter

corktina · 05-07-2006 12:46pm

i thought that but then i thought it looked too big........

I reckon it's a Hunter.

junkyard · 09-07-2006 11:13am

Its a Hillman Hunter alright, the last of them with the chrome grille around the tail lamps.

Saw this the other day on........ Capel Street yet again. I have no idea of the year it might be. Anyone?
There seem to be alot of restored Mercs around these days. Not just classics but models from the late 70's and early eighties.

It's a '64 as far as I know. It lives in Terenure and appears to be a daily driver.

Today I saw a classic and took a pic thread!
