This is the 'Ultra' Kadett, similar supposedly? And also a special edition?

Looks to be nice and clean the way it is. I'd keep it original tbh. Theres plenty of modded fake classic cars out there, RS2000's , Mexico's and so on. You would need a new interior as well, and either way the Cead wasn't the most well known edition either. Just keep it the way it is, it looks grand.

I managed to get my hands on a few. The GPI reg pics are of an untouched Cead I told. The rest are of the Cead owned by the guy that gave me the pics. He said the gold stripe was added to a good few by their owners. Also, TIC 286 was one of 2 sold in Carlow, the other being TIC 284.

Thanks to Tommy Nog for the pics.

Shame really. The lads in the first pic were owners at different times. I know two others that had it too. She was never pucked or buckled in any way, although was well driven on. Iirc, she never had a respray. But the last I saw of her was about 10 years ago, and she looked exactly like someone took an iron bar to her and bet the sh1t out of her. Not a straight panel on left. Not really that it was in an accident, but actually bet with bars, kinda like Christine. Except the Cead never was able to repair itself. I heard shortly after that she was sent to the breakers yard. Maybe she still is sitting somewhere, but I doubt it. R.I.P. Cead.

My brother used to take a note of Kadett Cead reg plates when he spotted them. I found it recently and it goes as follows:

464 GPI
489 GPI
909 FZB
992 FZB
152 GZB
IZB 100
JZB 100
ZB 9517
ZF 11
933 PHI
993 RHI
70 SHI
9839 FI
9750 FI
9850 FI
3444 KI
OWI 628
8606 TI
731 HIP
839 HIP
ZCI 842
VZN 323
973 HZL
91 MZL
589 UZL

100% accuracy can't be guaranteed but he was pretty eagle eyed in those days. Wouldn't it be nice to see how many of the 100 cars people remember to complete the list further?

You can add 101 UIZ to your list. They tried to get 100 UIZ but it was already gone - on what I've no idea.

ZF11, a 1946 Cork city 80s re-issue. Neat.
ZB9517 is also a 40s reissue.
IZB 100 and JZB100 were originally 1960s issues too.

100UIZ was a Ford Fiesta. 101UIZ was scapped pre 1993 it would seem.
