Today I saw a classic and took a pic thread!

Wishbone Ash

1980 Ford Capri spotted in Letterkenny. The modern alloys spoil it IMO.

(I also spotted a pristine Mark I Fiesta but no pic. )



And a piece of 'art' also in Letterkenny at the Port Bridge Roundabout.

Capri

'Not wise I know taking a picture while driving up the rear of a €150K + car '

Especially in a LHD (Fiat?). Speaking of Italian, I notice the white Merc coupé (Mike65) is Italian spec also - square no. plate, and indicator side repeater .

Capri

Those Capri alloys are RS items, prob 7x14, AFAK they were fitted to the 280 Brooklands model towards the end.

Those Escorts posing as Slotcars are awesome!!!:D

Wheels like the ones on the escorts above would look better I think.

Anan1

The middle one's an Auburn (I think), looks very expensive.

superboy

NewApproach

Heres another pic of it:

Copped this Opel Manta parked up on the side of the road for sale -
bodywork ok but rust in places.
The next version of these imho is a much more handsome classic.
btw- its for sale too, i have a pic with the contact no, if anyone wants it, pm me.

Is the number on the BMW a ZV plate spaced ZV 12 345? What a mess.

:eek:

That's a 1941 Buick 2 door convetible. Either a Special or a Super, judging by the number of vents at the side....

Please tell me where you saw this car!!!

Saw it in Woodstock Golf Club.

They are gone now though, they were only there overnight. Judging from the sticker on the bumpers of the cars, it is a European thing, where they visit different places.

I take it this is a rare car so!

What sort of value would be on it?

I came across these today, the heralds for sale for 950 euros and drives well but needs a bit of work.

Where are they for sale Junkyard? Might be interested in that Herald. I miss my 13/60! Looking for a project for the winter.

That merc(ZS 8026) is literally one of the last few hundred cars to be registered in dublin before the 87 changeover,think the last reg was ZS 8709,or thereabouts.Must have been registered in the last few days of december.
