    There was one sitting in a house near Keeleys pub at Dublin Airport, pale blue UK plates. I used to look at it when passing. It was on UK plates and was a touch rough. I always wondered what the story was with it. I haven't seen it lately as they built a fence or something and you can't see in anymore.

    Wow that sounds promising. How long ago are we talking?

    Fancy taking a closer look/knocking on a door? :)

    Hi everyone

    Been a long time since I started this thread and thought I'd resurrect it just in case.....

    Still been keeping an eye out for it but nothing apart from a previous owner getting in touch who sent me some more pictures of the car which was nice to see.

    So if you happen to have seen the car in the last few years or know of its whereabouts please get in touch.

    Thanks

    Martin

    Maybe post up a picture of it and those that aren't too familiar with the model it may just jog the memory or stay in it....

    Unfortunately It won't let me post pictures or links yet. Take out the spaces in the link below to see the last pictures I have. Taken around 2004 just before it was exported to Ireland

    Used to be a P1800 in a shed behind the Kingdom house in Castleisland in Kerry, the owner had filled the sills entirely with a sort of resin, he reckoned it would stop rust. There must have been many litres of the stuff used. The sills were like concrete blocks.
