    2cv NOT for sale.

    .............I'd be interested in that Merc, really interested. Can you PM me the location/contact details please.

    Also I know that garage in Drumconrath. I pass it about twice a year, its intriguing, but the stock does change as there used to be a lot of very old Opels there too !

    Posted before. I passed and asked. Somebody told me the owner was in a head on smash going home and (i think) there ws nobody to take it on. there seems to be some sort of works going on up the lane between the garage and the raised are where the old dyna and cars are. cupla polos with bonnets open.

    They're the two yokes I posted up the "barnfind" thread about. I know the owners nephew a few years, but when I was there you could barely walk in with the amount of stuff in there. Must be cleaned out by now.

    I didn't think the Jag was in anyway reasonable condition, but as I say it was hard to see.

    The Merc has a big dent in the roof, rust on the front left wing but the the interior and a few other bits seem clean enough.

    If it was the former owner that turned up I'd be well worried .....he died last year :eek:.

    Probably just an OTT local with fcuk all to do.

    Thats what I was told by the people in the other garage, anyway! Got yer mans reg, so if the Guards get in contact with me (my van is heavily branded) I can just ask them to get the other garage's CCTV to see him literally driving after me (on foot!) around the village.

    I know those cars very well. I knew the owner as he lived on the same road that I grew up on. I towed that Jag into that garage years ago with the owner.
    The Merc was bought in Spain by the owner and was a LHD but he converted it to RHD.

Also spotted another R4 near Feenagh but no-one home so didnt get pics as I had to go into owners yars to get em ,will try again soon and also spotted an R4 van by the side of an old railway house on way to Claregalway, no camera though

    I spotted 3 Land Rovers, exactly like the one in the above picture off the M50 in Santry. They look to have been there for years but with the works going on are now suddenly visible.

    I reckon you'd have to access them from the Collinstown area.

    Collected that Merc this evening. Its a 200D. Looks pretty solid. I will have to lift it and have a look under it tomorrow evening. We put a new battery in it and it fired up after getting a bit of a heating. Started pretty easily. The speedometer is reading 73 K (KM's).

    Is that just on a trailer in a field or was it actually moving somewhere very slowly?

    That looks like an Irish assembled model around 1981.

    There is another one in a garage outside Carrick-on-Suir, Co Tipperary but not as rusty as this one. I also saw two Mark 2 Escorts being lifted into a
    scrap-metal lorry last Friday :o,
