    Volvo P1800 parked on the Carrigrohane Road in Cork City. Anyone know of this car? Looks mint...

    It is a regular there, often seen it there, I also used to see a P1800 ES on irish plates but i think it was an early 80s import. Its white but I havent seen it lately.

    051.jpg
    Didnt think it was abandoned though.Good pics there nero


  • Registered Users Posts: 357 ✭✭3nero


    yeap the 3 wheeler is in tralee, i took that pic about 2 years ago but i saw it 2 weeks ago.
    and the van is in Dingle but i havn't been there since last November. I was a tour bus driver for a while and brought many yanks to see the trinity tree in the church next door. In 2 years i never saw it moved. there is another oldish car in the same carpark with 4 flat tyres, i think it was an old toyota or nissan i didn't take a pic of it and now i can't remember what it was but i knocked the back bumber off it trying to turn the bus :o

    I left a note on the VW, it was still on it 5 weeks later only it was pulped from the rain :rolleyes:

    pics are a year old
    the car was/is in blaney in the backyard of the castle B&B
    drive into the blaney castle carpark and head over to the taxi huts it's the house on the right with the gap in the bushes.
    When i asked the owner about it he said he was looking for €2000 for it...

    ....I said keep looking:rolleyes:

    It may still be there, but i did put those pics up on a few VW forums when i took them so someone else may have allready got it.

    There is a beetle here in bray which might be forsale, i keep meaning to call in about it so i'll suss it out if you like ;)

    2k he must have been mad,but check the one in bray for me thanks, really if it has 4 wheels and no engine and is reasonably solid around the 500e mark is what i am looking for

    not sure what it is really, i took that pic while passing in a bus in the Canaries (sp?) there was lots of similar condition cars like them on that road but that was the only clear pic i got.

    That Mercedes used to be always there (in Sandymount). I passed by that place recently and the car was no longer there. Wonder what happened to it.

    Its an old italian 60ft train carrage converted into a showmans caravan.
    it used to belong to a boss of mine. it had a marble bathroom and the sitting room had padded red leather walls every room had cyrstal chandeliers, it was way over the top luxury. but now it's been stripped and vandalised, it's sitting in an old funfair yard in clondalkin.

    That would make an epic camper van! Stick a big block 427 cubic inch V8 in the back, and put in a proper steering system in the front. Brilliant! :cool:
