Today I saw a classic and took a pic thread! Part 2

kev1.3s

It's an 8valve delta HF integrale

Anymore of the E30? Unusual to see a 88 with the facelift m-tec 2 kit. I like the colour though (also not original)

They are a rare sight on our roads now. Colour looks good but not gone on the e36 M3 alloys or the eyebrows. Prefer to keep mine original.

1988 is very early for the tec2, one of the first but I'm not sure if the cabby was also available at the same time with the facelift tec2 saloon. The 1991 in your image is definitely facelift.

They are all in hiding :cool: Couple of friends still daily theirs, I have a touring in the shed that has been undergoing a resto the last few years (which must be 8-10).

Not a big fan of the wheels either but I get the appeal

Milltown Road today:

tc20

recent spots around Greystones.
The Imp had a lovely rorty exhaust sound - original Irish reg too, I've not seen it around before.

It's like you're stalking that Imp from that vantage point TC.

bit of a "grassy knoll" location for sure there B
I'd missed getting a pic of the car a short time beforehand and was out for a walk when I heard it heading my way, I had him in my crosshairs then

RWD

Glasheen,Cork earlier.
There’s also a navy ford Scorpio parked here occasionally

Its was the shooter in the grassy knoll

Well as he said himself above there, he caught him on his way "back and to the left"

The Fiat 500 is lovely, and in RHD too? Even rarer.

Volkswagen T25 Camper van parked up beside the canal, hasn't been there too long judging by the rain beaten dirt around the tyres, looks like a decent one. Around 1982 would it be?

A bit earlier, YZO is late '81, Dublin.

Bus Boy

Sounds about right for 1981. Our Land Cruiser is LZO from '81.

Saw a Fiat Regatta today on a drive..... Dunno does it get out and about much but from a distance it certainly does t look like it's anchored all the time.

Can't remember exactly but I think the 1.3s didn't get the fancy grill so this might be whatever the regatta version of the Ritmo super 85 was?

Was really surpised when I saw it, not many of these got to 15 years old... Not to mention 35.

Type 17

Can't read the reg, but looking at the layout / high number, it's a post-2011 import - I'd be stunned if any original Irish ones had survived.
Still impressive to see one at all - I have driven to / around Italy a few times on hols, and even there, they are really rare.

Looks like a Renault 25 behind it as well

It does (or maybe a Safrane). Looking at the Polo saloon with the alloys / silver centre caps, this guy likes oddball cars - is that your house, Duke O Smiley?

Definitely a R25, looks like it has double optic headlights making it a high spec model - TXi, V6 etc.

R25 indeed and the Regatta is an S as I thought it might have been. Was taxed until recently also...

Merrion Road today, not my best shot though unfortunately. Think it's a Merc but not sure.

More like an Audi, I think.

Think you're right, an Audi 100!

sligojoek

I think so. My old man had one in the late 70s. I got a kinda deja vu when I saw that.

The funny thing is I only looked back to see what car was responsible for a deafening noise and there it was :P

I saw this exact car on Baggot St today (inside my 2km) - I also looked up because of the noise (it's not deafening/broken, but more primitive/raspy - very different by today's standards).
Lovely car, an uncle of mine had a few of them in the 70's.
