Seen a lovely black Rolls Royce earlier today. 3 kids in the back traveling in style while 2 adults sat exposed to the elements up front.

It was something like this one: http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C57195/ Reg shows as a phantom on cartell.

EDIT: looking at car tell and googling it was a Phanthom 3 - not the one above

Tell me about it - I tend to polish my car at shows rather than beforehand as it can pass the time for a couple of hours after you've already seen everything. The heavens opened three times on me mid-polish! :mad:

didnt get photo but was driving from carrigtwohill to lisgoold in Cork today along the backroad. Sitting in the middle of a field on the left was a 5dr Mk1 Golf. Think it was green.

Sorry about the size.

Spotted not long ago in Phibsboro:

I think this was the 1st time I've ever seen one of these on the road, nice sound from it! Prob seen this before at some of the car shows.

Seen what looked like a Ferrari F355 but the more I looked at it the more it looked like a MR2 with Ferrari kit, and they didnt make the F355 in 2002 either.

zilog_jones

There is or was a maroon Jensen Interceptor in Limerick for a while a couple of years ago. Only ever saw it on UK plates though so don't know what happened to it.

The SW20 series MR2 was only in production till 1999 so the fake F355 was more likely a Peugeot 406

jozi

I was thinking 2002 was very recent for the MR2.

A 406 as a base car didn't know there was a F355 kit for it, knew about a F360 kit

zilog_jones

Oh yeah that's what I was thinking of. Maybe there are F355 kits for it too, or there is some other donor car? Can't find much useful information about them...

I'd be 99% certain that it's genuine. Someone that went to the same school as me in the late 70s/early 80's used to get picked up in that MK1 GTI.

I often wondered what happened that car, cool reg. Nice to know its still around

It seems to be having some work carried out in the pic so maybe it might turn up at a show this year. I think GTI 2 was on a Golf as well...

GTI 2 was indeed on a Golf, a silver Mark 1 GTI which lay abandoned with a seized engine on the side of the street in Nenagh, Co Tipp up until about mid 1996.

Having tracked down the owner at the time I tried to buy it on numerous occasions only to be flatly refused each time. In the end I just gave up.

I often wonder what ever became of it.
