Another bloody stickie! If you spot a classic and take a shot please put it here rather than start a fresh thread. I'll start, I spotted this Lotus Elan parked in Catherine Street here in Waterford. Had'nt seen it before. Today I also saw 2 Silver Clouds, and 2 Jenson Interceptors but they were moving and so was I :D Mike.

Thats a Wolsley 16/60 - my favourite is the Wolsley 6/110 which I was seriously considering buying before I went for the Daimler.

The 6/110 is extremely rare - whereas the 16/60 is quite common as a classic (in Uk at least)

Just on my way up the sliproad for Blanchardstown this morming off the notorious M50, and I spotted a lovely 76 D reg KE30 corolla coupe. A big ugly VW Toureag blocked my view before I could reach for the camera Has anyone seen this machine about before?

Jason, was it metallic green ? There's one such car in the Clonsilla area.

(to digress: have also seen a *huge* 70's American sedan out this direction. Don't know what it is - dark green in colour. At the same house there's usually a big, blue Ford pickup - American again. Amazing stuff)

John, it was actually a red car, but it's making me glad that you know of another one in Clonsilla also. I had to double - check what it was, thought at first it was a Datsun

Okay so maybe not a classic yet - but the Maserati Quattroporte I followed home yesterday might be one day!
(Not wise I know taking a picture while driving up the rear of a €150K + car :eek:)

Love the spots on the wheel, Atheist.

He turned into a filling station after I tailed him for a bit - possibly to get away from the tailgating nutter with 33yr old brakes!

And oh yeah I love steering wheels with rivits!

Here's some classics from the king of Monaco's collection.
The 1950 wine soft top is a Cisitalia.
That seems to be where Nissan knocked off the over priced 90/91 {micra}Figaro.The green Renault Coupe is my fave.That was Princess Grace's.

By the looks of them I wouldn't think he drives 'em too much.

At least it looks like he has a garage.

I think I know that car.

If it was rhd with an original Irish reg as opposed to a zv plate, it's a unique original and still ONE (!!!) family owned Porsche 356 Convertible in very good, nicely patinated condition. Seen it around at the Porsche specialist servicing the car.

The 356 seems to have a 'GB' sticker/chrome letters on the rear bumper ?

Well this would have been a classic someday, unfortunatly the elements got to it first. This Mk5 has been sitting outside a junkyard on the Swords Road for, well I lived in Swords 6 years ago and it was there then. Back then of course it looked a lot better,it always surprised me that no ever bought it when it was good..ish.
