The orange Lada estate is gorgeous..........that red Yugo van was up for sale a year or two ago, very cheap as well. I wanted it, but was out of the country at the time and it was gone when I got back.....at least the new owner is looking after it.

Nice show, hope it gets bigger over the years.

Interesting group of cars. Sorry now that I didnt go along for a look.

I remember the Polski 125P in its day.
A fair few were sold as they were a cheap new car at the time. You couldnt give them away secondhand.

well done for organising this Ken - good turn out! And to echo Red Kevs sentiments, I hope this grows and grows.

No Skodas 105/120? ...

Likewise when I went to school in cabra an auld lad had two 125pickups, I thought they looked cool, and a lad on the road over had a polonez.......didn't they have Weller's (ish) wheels?

Cannot remember the wheels but I remember an underbonnet blaze or two on those Polski 125s.
