Remember a building contractor around home in the early 70s. Had a powder blue Rolls 2222 Z. On Cartel, this is: "No vehicle details found": GONE

Yes, the car still exists! It resides here in Cork. Stored for a good few years now, part of a collection. Sold by the hotel guy to Jimmy Mansfield. It suffered fire damage under his ownership. Bought from him around 1981 and restored. This photo was taken around 1981/82 and shows three Irish reg Rolls.

For the record, when Ireland's reg system was migrated to computers at Shannon (from paper ledgers held by each City/County Council) in 1992, any cars that were not being taxed weren't migrated (it was assumed that they were scrapped), but some were simply off the road, like these Rolls Royces. Non-migrated reg's don't appear on databases like Cartell's, but some cars/reg's may still exist.

If a old Irish car with a non-migrated reg is being put back on the road, it can be manually entered into the current system, and keep its original Irish reg.
