Today I saw a classic and took a pic thread!

Another bloody stickie! If you spot a classic and take a shot please put it here rather than start a fresh thread. I'll start, I spotted this Lotus Elan parked in Catherine Street here in Waterford. Had'nt seen it before. Today I also saw 2 Silver Clouds, and 2 Jenson Interceptors but they were moving and so was I :D Mike.

Was down in Dun Laoghaire today and was admiring this 1800 when smoke suddenly started billowing from the bonnet. :eek:

Luckily the fire was put out very quickly by harbour staff

You can just about make out the damage to the bonnet here

Poor guy never got on the ferry in the end

Here's where it ended up....

Sounds like it was in poor condition even before the fire.

I think 'ZS' was the last reg series in Dublin which would make it late 1986 (but I'm open to correction).
