Yes - the bonnet was up in Santry also. . I must see if I can get that pic uploaded (but I'm a bit of a technophobe).

MercMad

Yeah I've seen that car around the northside, I think the owner lives in Coolock and also has a Cadillac !

Heard it first, then saw it... black Mustang, the Bullitt model, in Bray yesterday.. AWESOME sound, Aural Sex

Had a lovely navy Alfa Giuletta (zv plates) behind me on the way to Navan today.

Kintarō Hattori

The first picture I have no idea what the car is, but it looks fantastic and the second is an MG spotted on Parnell Street.
Any idea what the third car is? It was HUGE. Absolutely massive.

I was up buying a couple of cars off him today and he was showing me some of his stuff. The Metro 6R4 is actually brand new, unregistered with only 800 miles on it. He's looking for around 45k euros for it.

corktina

did you get a price for the Lotus?

junkyard

Of course I did corktina, especially for you. Its 1967, its got 76k miles on the clock and in very tidy condition, he's asking 8500 euros for it. I'll P.M. you his details if your interested.

The first car on your list is an Auburn. Probably 1936/37/38. This car is better knjown in its "boat tail" roadster, supercharged version, called a "speedster" that is extremely rare, jaw-dropping beautiful and colossaly expensive. See one here: http://www.vegasauction.com/image/cars/1936%20auburn%20speedster%20f.jpg

The Auburn saloons are not worth much though. I almost bought one 10 years ago... to be reconstructed... for under €1,000... but that was in Zimbabwe. The plan would of course have been to rebuild it as a speedster

thanks..thats very cheap for a Lotus.....only snag is i dont have €85.00 let alone €8500:mad:

dubtom

Mmm, nice collection, I'm sure he won't have a problem getting rid of the 6R4.How much was the RS junkyard,not buying, just curious as to what it would go for.One at the citywest show last year went for 10K I understand, that was in perfect condition though.
EO980, I"m not sure what the third car was, I pass it most days in Arbour hill and keep meaning to stop and have a goo.

Was passing through Charlestown Co. Mayo today and saw a Talbot Horizon!

Not sure if would justify classic status, but it's donkey's years since I saw one on the road, unfortunately there was much evidence of tin worm infestation, so I doubt that this one will be on the road for too much longer! Sorry no pic...

BMWE21

Spotted around Pearse St at lunchtime today:

A Citroen DS 9 (or ID?) 2 door soft top. I know they're called something like a Decapomobile. Someone out there will correct me. 1960s i think, black, very nice. I think the reg was 383 MTH?

Also saw a Fiat 124 Sport with an original Irish ZH reg.

No snaps unfortunately.

carlosfandango

Hello BMWE21,
That'll be me in the 124. Been off the road for nearly two year and just put it back on this week! Normally drive a classic on a friday but seeing as it wasn't raining like yesterday, I just couldn't resist.. Have the car about 15 years (now that's dedication!).

tc20

just followed from Greystones to Bray, on the back of an english regd flatbed-

Jaguar XJ-S, 78 D 2xx, in 'old english white'

must bring camera with me

MercMad

The DS is called A Decapotable, made by Chapron, I presume. Beautiful car !

Anybody familiar with the specialist in Wales who does those DS's ? A friend of mine just bought a fully retored one from him, beautiful job !

Saw that blue Edsel twice this week up at Santry parked near Vinnie Byrnes' new shop, which BTW is superb !

Parked outside Tesco's Mullingar yesterday.

Saw a sound looking (from a distance!) late model Hillman Hunter abandoned on the side of the road in Lisryan Co. Longford the other day, must get a pic the next time I'm passing, shame to see it going to waste...

Just saw a red SIII E Type Coupé on the Coast Road in Malahide, on ZV plates. No camera, but it was very dark anyway.
