Today I saw a classic and took a pic thread!

Saw these two recently. The Granada may be familiar to, or even owned by someone on here, but probably not so with the truck.

Where was the Bedford parked up ?

The bigger question is how is the guy in the Granada getting out of that spot?

Big Nasty

Wheels are poxy looking on that Granada!:eek:

yes - a bluey silver I think, stunning car, and very unusual to see something so special parked out on the street, owner probably took it to their pad in the South of France !

.............I sold a silver one to a guy around the corner from there. Wonder if its the same car.

..................I saw a white Granada coupe, mint condition, on the old M1 at Donabate yesterday. Coincidence considering how rare they are now.

Up in Springhill Ave in Deans Grange - 69D white US-spec Citroen DS in one drive (outside another 'everyday' car so it must be a driver ) and a Mini (Countryman) estate under covers. DS rare enough, but US-spec as well;)

Wikipedia has a pic of a '69 US-spec one. Doesn't look as awful as you may have imagined

It's in a yard about 15-20 minutes drive outside Birr (Offaly) on the road to Kinnity. I could probably find out more about it if you like?

Its just so beautifully Ugly.





Shame she's not blue.

^ What make is that? Is it some sort of Eastern bloc mobility vehicle for elderly or disabled?

I doubt its homemade as the roof and panels seem to fit very well despite its years. Would be a nice thing to do a light resto on.

I'm pretty sure that's a Vespa Ape (pernounced Ah Pay)

Chonker

She is Italian 1954, made by a company called Demm

Completly rebuilt and restored? or so I am told in 1968

that car lives in Ludford in Ballinteer, from what I can work out it's used as a daily driver so the 75k miles is surprising.

One for the Merc fans, spotted outside Seapoint Rugby Club

The one time I manage to get my phone out in time to snap a classic, and it's a fecking Allegro!

Spotless car, though. Fair play to the owner. Picture taken in Kimmage.

84 Fiesta, in good condition, looks like a daily driver seen in Harolds Cross area.

Yep, that's in daily use. I see it around all the time. It looks better in real life than in those photos (except for the cheap wheel trims).
