Hi,

Its in the mart in Blessington - its on the left hand side as you approach the village (assuming that you're approaching on the N81 from Dublin). Anyone local will direct you to it if you miss the turn but you should see plenty of cars going in.

Blessington was the place to be this weekend.
You may have seen alot of bikes on the road. I was racing in a triathlon. It was a tough bike course so there was nothing better to lift the spirits than seeing the odd classic pass by on the way to the show.
I made it up after with the MG but wasn't showing it.
There was a great range of cars on display. The condition of most was unbelievable.
Organisers were very courteous and helpful, well done to all.

I'm getting very interested in buying another Manta recently.

If you come across a good '76/'77 Coupe (at a sensible price!) let me know


Like either of these (though I'm not that keen on vinyl roofs! ....

......I'd even consider a nice hatchback
