Its at the Woodlands Hotel on the Dunmore road at midday, the last one was well attended I belive. Sadly I was down with flu so must get to this one.

admin@classiccars.ie if you want to submit a jalopy.

Half tempted to put a for sale sign up on the Stag while I'm there, But I can't think of anything within reach to replace it with.
Convertible, 4 seats, V8... A Merc SL I suppose , But I've already looked at several of those and can't seem to find a good one within my budget (€10/12ish)
Any ideas.

Should that be admin@classiccarsales.ie or are they the same entity?

Might make the trip myself if the weather looks good.

Or big children (aka adults) for short trips!

I would have thought 10/12K would get you a good runner SL.

I belive the e-mail is correct but don't know if they are linked to the other crowd.

Mike, I actually looked at that one about 3 months ago, before it was officially on the market. Its in north county Dublin and the story checks out, i.e. the seller is moving house, to West Cork in the very near future. He's retiring and sold his business to a good friend of mine, who then told me about the car.
In fairness to the vendor, I won't go into why I didn't buy it, mind you, at that time he was asking €12k. Looks a lot more attractive now;)

Was just thinking when I saw Mike's link - isn't that the car Hifive went to see a while back?!

Still selling it, so looks you were right to walk.
10K would be good value if the description were entirely accurate.

would there be many cars on sale there? Could you see whats there in advance?

mike65

Nope, they don't have a catalogue or even a working website at the moment.

Mike.

Looks like you're right - they published it wrong in Waterford Today.

www.classiccars.ie does exist though.

The last sale in the woodlands had an amazing turnout, keep an eye out for me in my 1980 Austin Mini
