Least said about the kid who owns the Omega the better..suffice to say "the drugs (as with the handbrake) dont work..;)
The car rolled down the road from outside his house and gouged the whole side of the Consul before being stopped by an expensive fiberglass RX7 bumper, which is a customers car ,in for an engine rebuild and NOW a new front bumper........:(

MercMad

I think they're we pics of it up before put there's an old white estate Mercedes in some old petrol station on the main street of MoneyGall. I'm sure any1 on the road has seen it. Didn't get time for a pic but it's there awhile.

Sorry to hear about the motor, was there much damage?

BTW thanks for the Jump start with the SM, replaced one of the coils and all is well again.

Oh My God, that could be the very Lotus Esprit that my father got a few spins in. a man called John Brick used to own a yellow Esprit around here (Leixlip).

Lot of memories / sightings in those photos -

1) Saw a black ZW ( not ZV ! ) reg Consul 375 driving around Hartstown yesterday - reminded me of the old Garda Consuls in the 60's

2) That Vito in the photo doesn't have a Lambo V12 in it by any chance ? I was looking at a Dodge Ram in Kinehans ( Merc Truck dlr ) a few years ago, and in the workshop was a Vito with a space frame chassis and Lambo V12 sittin' in it ! He told me he'd bought a totalled Lambo with a good engine in the UK for the conversion. ( I converted a Transit SWB to a 2.8i back in 95, no traction, jst wheelspin !!!! )

Sids Not

The Consul's a UK jobby....
The Vito's only a standard 108cdi..plenty customised though......but i have just got a Chevy Astro van which has a 200hp 4.3 v6.:eek: .which i have converted to RHD that will be hitting the streets soon.......

Neighbour is fixing it. It's an Australian import. He hopes to have it running well over 100bhp, it's only running at about 80bhp at the moment.

That looks the business. I'm guessin there were bumpers on it before? Like that look...

Yeah, he has them off to give them a thorough going over.

P.C.

Saw this today. I know it is not a classic, but it is a great 80's car.






While I was taking the pics, this drove past, and parked three cars down.




I much prefer the older one.
