Thats a Riley RM. On a Kerry reg too.

There are ZV plates specific to counties? Are they allocated number ranges or something?

Yes, in both the new(stupid) series and the original series.

Which I've stuck in a new thread HERE as I was working on the long answer when you posted.

Yeah, it only bears a striking symilarity to the old cub at a glance.... but it has a 100cc engine, 12V electrics, 4-speed (semi-auto? CVT) gearbox and telescopic front forks.

Saw a Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer yesterday in Stillorgan!

Drove past me and I'd no time for a camera. :mad: A real beauty though.

Also saw a Porsche Panamera - not quite as good looking.

Spotted in Mahon Point this evening

And another for the Ford fans, parked about 20ft away from the Sapphire

Indeed, it's an original Cork car, was the 2000E a model sold in Ireland?

I remember that some of the last of the Sierra's were badged as "2.0 GT". They were very similar to the UK 2000E.....

Whoops. If I'd known it'd get attention I would have taken more pics. Sorry folks.

Might be down that way again later in the week so will see if its about again

Saw this at Mother Hubbards near Kinnegad last Saturday, nice patina to it.
I'm not too big on Zodiacs, late 60's Mk IV this one?



And this Heinkel Tourist in Dublin today, I've seen it parked up there a few times. OZH reg which makes it late 64/ early 65. They were built till 65. Good scooter, I knew a couple of people in Germany who had them in the 90's, they swore by them (not at them), very comfortable but a bit heavy iirc.

Sure is funny to look and see what people consider a large car today like the Mondeo look so small next to it !

Exactly, my old 200L is a big lump of steel relative to a 100A or similar, but park it next to a modern Fiesta and it looks comically small.

With all that chrome trim that looks like a Zodiac Executive. Probably the V6. Nice one.

Blue850

spotted this on another forum:eek:

CharlieCroker

Great idea with the berlingo but don't think it was designed for that.

Whats scary is that all the weight (engine) is on the extended part and not o. The actual Citroën chassis!

Sapphires were badged as a 2.0i GTE, Hatch were badged as a 2.0i GT.

Had different interior and alloys.

I'v only seen them in 3 colours, Light Blue, Red, Black. Possibly more colours I'm not sure.

Ah ya, I remember now.....

Should have known, a neighbour had one a good few years ago. Black and I seem to recall it was a GTe, but then again......
