    I hope you remembered the stake through her heart this time or that shovel will be back out again.

    ^^ Nice pics!
    Looking at the Landrover, I'd say it's received a lot of attention / modernising ...or was the subject of a chassis swop. Very nice 'working' jeep :)

    hmmmm : not that well up on my ranger rovers - but that looks a bit fresh for a 78.
    Wasn't the 4 door only introduced in the 80's ?
    The wheels are certainly off a newer car than 78.

    lovely W123 in Wicklow, looked to be in great condition.
    And a glimpse of a DS in greystones recently, and a bonus youngtimer

    And on the same street and not a classic as such but it's not often you see a Bristol in the flesh:

    ^^ That yellow Cortina featured in 'Irish Vintage Scene' some months ago. The owner and his wife took it on a trip around Europe on their honeymooon (with a small trailer on tow). It's a 2 litre, 3-speed automatic.

    Ah that explains the tow bar.

    (I had to take the picture from a discreet distance on zoom as there was a couple having a picnic on the grass directly in front of it - presumably the owners.)

    You are right, the four door only became available in 1981.
    Yet another Irish "motoring oddity"!

    Deja vu.

    I spent the summer of 1980 (I think) delivering 4 stone bags of spuds to hotels, restaurants and chippers over north Munster, Laoise and Kilkenny in one of them. My co-pilot seat was 2 bags of spuds on the way out and an upturned paint bucket on the way home.

    The following year it was converted into a chip wagon for Lisdoonvarna.

    Would I correct in assuming those trucks are from / heading to the National Transport Museum in Howth?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,378 ✭✭✭w124man


    Saw this in Ballycanew this morning. There will be a run there on Sunday I believe

    I know that shop well - my sister in law lives in Oulart!

    Never seen that Jag though. :)

    I don't live that far away from there and I think I have seen the car once before. An old lad drives it. Also, I saw a black Wolseley 1500 on a low ZV plate shortly after taking the Jag pic


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,086 ✭✭✭✭Duke O Smiley


    According to carsireland.ie the Jag is still with owner #1

    Lancia Integrale near Galway Airport today


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,662 ✭✭✭kyote00


    No pics unfortunately but today I saw

    - Lancia Fulvia (red) absolutely belting along on M3 (clonee/blanch) in the fast lane

    - 3-4 groups of Minis driving on M4 heading west this afternoon. Must be some event on

    Wouldn't it be really cool if it was. He is an old guy who drives it.

    What's the story with this. 07 reg w124.

    A man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone.

    They were assembled from kits in Indonesia until 2000 - the rest of the world finished in '96.

    Perhaps an import that was never registered anywhere else?
