This weeks Classic Irish bargains that I'm not buying

Had a look at the vintage section of adverts.ie last night for the first time in quite a while. Opened about 20 cars up in a new tab, to have a closer look, some very nice looking cars that looked good value for money too. Turned out not one of them that should have an NCT did have one. Most of them never had one. Depressing stuff really. Especially since importing classic cars (the good ones) from the UK is going to be maybe not impossible, but almost prohibitively expensive (with 10% import duty, and 23% VAT and NOx and VRT charges), in just 6 months time

This looks like a lot of car for €12k0 -
https://www.donedeal.ie/vintagecars-for-sale/1980-bmw-525/25170735
1980 525 automatic, €4250
Last NCT expired in January - now NCT exempt. Given that it had an NCT on it very recently I would imagine it was a reasonably well looked after car at the very least. Seems a bargain at this price?0 -
https://www.donedeal.ie/vintagecars-for-sale/1981-cortina-ghia-estate-2-3-litre-v6-/25173557
Something with room for all the family and the dog. Cortina V6 estate automatic, €4250
Needs a small bit of fettling but looks a fantastic example.0 -

Personally I think the NCT just doesnt factor for a lot of people, and for others its another unnecessary tax. if you had 5 cars doing less than 1k miles a year you might feel the need to NCT them yearly a bit of a pain too !
but I see your point - personally I think no NCT = badly cared for ( or something to hide ). I feel similarly about cheap tyres !0 -

Its not something that would put me off buying a car that interested me. I'm reasonably confident in my ability to assess a potential purchase myself and whether it would pass a test. If the seller understands that it should have a test it can be a bargaining tool, however some will be adamant that that their car doesn't need one because its on the cheap tax !
My last 240d was a case in point, 1980, the friend I bought it from would not accept it needed a test. I bought it, having checked it out carefully, given it a good service and clean and it sailed through the test !0 -

What additional charges are coming? I thought that classics > 30 years were unaffected by nox and vrt. is the flat rate of €200 going?0 -

1972 PEUGEOT 504 coupe €15950 ..
Bolands classic cars
Beautiful. Reasonable asking price too, particularly given it's a RHD and a desirable auto. Cheapest ones on the continent start at around 10k. Pretty special car for this sort of money and unlikely to ever go down significantly in value.
Here's the linky
Pity there's no close up shot of the Jaeger LeCoultre clocks

I agree - I also think if this had an italian badge on the front of it these would be worth a lot more. I have no idea if the driving dynamics are poor in these and thats why they seem a little under loved, but they certainly are good looking.
Are these Bolands anything to the Bolands BMW waterford ?0 -

This one ? Unlikely there are many others. Been looking around and few in this country, good ones with a level of history and work seen to 15GBP+ in UK.

Mine was the 4.7l 16V S2 too
This car is still on UK plates and hasn't seen any test in years? Tricky to get that registered without paying fines or committing fraud. Also needs cam belt straight away. Lights not popping up (expensive) and a few other lights coming on in dash, no doubt including ABS (even more expensive). And undesirable colour. He's pushing it big style with that price...0 -

Funny I saw your add pop up a few years back, got interested, well described and a low price but then realized it was an old add !0 -
