    Tony Canning on Poplar Row is definitly your best bet. I know he had one there recently.

    I would be very surprised if you locate a Mercedes Pullman in Ireland. It's a rare model.
    John Lennon (the Beatles) had one of them and it sold for a several million pounds a few years back.

    Classy car all the same !


    P.S. - The classic car forum on www.eforecourt.com (Irish site) might be a good place to get more info on classic Mercs.

    roneill , You were correct . Tony canning did indeed have a Pullman there . I actually saw him down in Slane in it two years ago ( But diddnt realise it was Tony I was speaking to ) ...


    Alas he has sold the car on to some one in the UK ...

    Thanks again Guys ..
