Wow!

Interesting spec - RHD (with RHD wipers), but US-style side-markers and non-original fog & reverse lights - I wonder where it lived before Irl?

Great spot!

Great spot! I can't remember when I last saw a 404 in the flesh.

I stripped many a one down in the late 70s early 80s. The difference in weight between a wing of one of those and a Cortina was immense.

My father had a few of them and 504 and 305 estates after that.

Few from Naxos, Greece, in some random village along or way. Spotted more but no pics.

Not sure what the red Toyota is, poor 4Dr E30 has seen better days while the other one looks well enough cared for (they were parked opposite one another).

Toyota ke30, most of them dissolved here soon after they were new.

True, they (and the predecessor K20) were assembled in Ireland and had no underbody protection. The only survivors are some two-door ones that were assembled in Japan.

A few spots over the weekend:

jozi · 02-09-2018 11:23pm

Also spotted a Renault 4 something or other in passing, it just had a frame about the for line a bit like a beach buggy

@wishbone ash

Now that's a lovely collection. Good spots.

tc20 · 03-09-2018 10:37am

In Greystones over the weekend..

BionicRasher · 03-09-2018 3:41pm

2 local cars around the corner from me

BionicRasher · 03-09-2018 3:58pm

Another beaut

tc20 · 07-09-2018 9:53am

a pair of 37 year olds in Bray..
only a partial shot of the 'vette, and a bit of a Dolly in there too

Wishbone Ash · 07-09-2018 7:43pm

Skerries this evening. Absolutely immaculate - the pic doesn't do it justice.

(What country is that plate?)

Type 17 · 07-09-2018 8:09pm

Classic Dutch plate (modern dutch plates are yellow).

Lovely condition!

PaulK_CCI · 09-09-2018 1:49pm

Correct, in fact it is an original Dutch Rover P5B Coupe from new, first registered in 1968 in Holland so was never imported or exported. Current owner has it since 1990!!! so I guess a proud and loyal owner to have kept or restored it in this condition. (it's on LPG gas though ;-) ) (with thanks to the Dutch version of Cartell)

Duke O Smiley · 09-09-2018 3:11pm

Roma, during the week

Nekarsulm · 09-09-2018 11:51pm

In France last week. Not on the road, and indeed may never make it back.

gammygils · 10-09-2018 1:02am

84 CSi in Claremorris

direstraits · 10-09-2018 2:18am

Dublin Airport.

Anyone know the model?

bonzodog2 · 10-09-2018 4:05pm

Immaculate 1972 TR6 in Youghal today

Sorry about the size!

A 737?

tc20 · 10-09-2018 5:50pm

recent sightings around north Wicklow.

The Kadett has a roll cage fitted, looked immaculate.
I've seen the Bentley out and about all over Wicklow.
The camper is to give Duke some wood

- it's on a UK "L" reg, so that's around 72/73, bit of a blurry pic, I think the badge is a Vauxhall, or maybe it could be a Bedford??

tc20 · 10-09-2018 5:51pm

..and a better pic of the Corvette I posted the last week
