    A few spots from today, all around Clontarf.

    Stumbled upon this this lot while out canvassing tonight (72' MGB Roadster, late '80's Rubber Bumper Roadster, and a Pagoda i believe which was very rotten and looked like it was painted with a brush). I do not know whether or not they are abandoned, but sure have not moved in while.

    ............its a 250SE Coupe W111.It was actually posted here on this thread last year. I recall seeing the car move a good few years back, I know where that place is. Its a shame to see it rot like that but they cost an arm & a leg to restore.

    And finally, I spotted this while on a jaunt to Rome last week;
    The Original Popemobile, gold plated everything. Havent a clue what make.

    I think that's a 1928 Citroen C6 (and I don't mean the new ones ofcourse :D)

    He must not have liked it much, because a couple of years later the Pope got a brand new 1930 Mercedes Nurburg 460 saloon, with the same "Throne chair" in the back, but without the gold plating...

    Lauder/MercMad,
    It'd be very interested in having a look at the Mercedes W111 Coupe if you could pm me the location that would be great.
    Thanks, Shane.

    There was an Irish registered Tatra T613 I saw in Rathmines about two weeks ago. I would've taken a picture only I don't carry a camera around with me.

    Is it this one? I saw it in Midleton about two years ago.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 813 ✭✭✭Kevin_Herron


    Thats her!

    I have spoken to the guy that owns it and as far as I remember he uses it everyday and has another Tatra aswell.

    Yes, I spotted it on two other occasions recently but it was at night and too dark for a pic.
