Saw this in Kimmage this afternoon. Posted it on the 'oldest car you saw today' thread, but it belongs here too.

I've seen this at a couple of shows, first time to see it on the road in it's natural habitat.

Reg Nr. IRL 1. A 1958 Chevrolet Biscayne I believe?

Excellent spots in this thread lately lads!

Is it just me, or does the reg on the 190 below make me wince slightly. Probably just my OCD when it comes to reg plates.

It would be nicer if the last three numbers were 201

While out and about burning some dinosaur juice today, I've come across a party (flock? fold? pack!?) of 14 minis near Sally Gap. Lots of smiles, waves and headlight flashes were exchanged. Looks like some local Mini club had a fun day. They weren't holding traffic up either!

In Vermicino yesterday. Had to be quick with this but the owner turned out to be very friendly and talkative. Lots of patina up close

That's what happens if you don't moisturise

I think I may have seen it the odd time when the previous owner had it in Greystones, gorgeous car!

Incidentally, I managed to capture this just as it accelerated away at warp speed the other evening

This lad was moving fairly fast. Looks like an original Irish car?

That was knocking around Dublin Port today, saw it twice!

Just caught this parked up off the Airton Road. Hate having to get distant photos like this but felt dodgy going any closer due to the large windows of the premises and awkward entrance to the carpark. Would have been hard to do it discreetly.

Possibly, albeit they did under 4k miles over the 4 years they've had it. It's a pity they've misplaced some trophies it won over the years for the last UK owner, and didn't sell the car with them.

Thanks!

No 1.5m passing rule here

Both in Connemara, the first one was in some castle/hotel we drove through, second was at Kylemore abbey.

I'm sure I've seen the first one at cars and coffee in the past
