    Who the hell puts a Testarossa on Offaly plates? :pac:

    Cartell has it as an unknown model of an unknown make with no description available I'd say there were some wide eyes in offaly when he went in to register that.

    That seems to be a better source, cartell hasn't got details of either of my lancias but that one has.

    Looks like it's a daily driver because it hasn't rained in ages and he hasn't bothered to clean it so it could be a runabout rather than a cosseted 'classic' :confused:

    I see it regularly on my way to work and sometimes see it parked around Ballsbridge and Donnybrook areas so it is a regular if not daily driver. Great condition too so it is looked after but perhaps not cosseted.

    The front one (TEI 132 Sligo '77) should be a TR7 according to mywheels.ie.
    That would sound right as TEI 7 was a green TR7 iirc!

    That has to be an data capture error Cartell. This TR5 came in from Northern Ireland late 70's when they issued current number plates, hence the incorrect period number but correct to the car. If that makes sense.

    On Sunday the 7th I attended the Howth Yacht club classic car and bike run. What a great turn out over 80 vehicles and some really nice machines.
    Here are a few photos from the day and you will find a lot more at this link. https://www.facebook.com/JEPPHOTOSANDVIDEO?ref=hl

    This was the last TR registered new in Ireland

    Aaaah yes, Howth and Deerpark - OLD MONEY ! :rolleyes:

    The MkIX shows how the new classic no's make it a problem on Ace plates. Perhaps the UK or Singapore size letters would fit better ??

    Plenty of 'hidden' cars judging by the very old original regs - pity it clashed with Cloghran but there's more than enough photos here thankfully :)
