I hope you remembered the stake through her heart this time or that shovel will be back out again.

A good hard - working motor, still going strong;

^^ Nice pics!
Looking at the Landrover, I'd say it's received a lot of attention / modernising ...or was the subject of a chassis swop. Very nice 'working' jeep

RobAMerc · 23-05-2017 11:48PM

hmmmm : not that well up on my ranger rovers - but that looks a bit fresh for a 78.
Wasn't the 4 door only introduced in the 80's ?
The wheels are certainly off a newer car than 78.

lovely W123 in Wicklow, looked to be in great condition.
And a glimpse of a DS in greystones recently, and a bonus youngtimer

Wishbone Ash · 24-05-2017 06:28PM

Skerries this evening (somewhat spoiled by those window stickers IMO):

Ranelagh this morning:

And on the same street and not a classic as such but it's not often you see a Bristol in the flesh:

^^ That yellow Cortina featured in 'Irish Vintage Scene' some months ago. The owner and his wife took it on a trip around Europe on their honeymooon (with a small trailer on tow). It's a 2 litre, 3-speed automatic.

Ah that explains the tow bar.

(I had to take the picture from a discreet distance on zoom as there was a couple having a picnic on the grass directly in front of it - presumably the owners.)

You are right, the four door only became available in 1981.
Yet another Irish "motoring oddity"!

Howth this evening as posted in the Oldest Car thread.

^^
I've had 3 Commer Walkthru's (that blue yoke), all UK electricity board ones
1 was a Perkins 4203, one a 4236 and 1 a petrol

Duke O Smiley · 24-05-2017 11:36PM

I took some photos of that a while ago

SmartinMartin · 25-05-2017 12:44AM

Love those CXs.

Deja vu.

I spent the summer of 1980 (I think) delivering 4 stone bags of spuds to hotels, restaurants and chippers over north Munster, Laoise and Kilkenny in one of them. My co-pilot seat was 2 bags of spuds on the way out and an upturned paint bucket on the way home.

The following year it was converted into a chip wagon for Lisdoonvarna.

Would I correct in assuming those trucks are from / heading to the National Transport Museum in Howth?

w124man · 26-05-2017 06:23PM

Saw this in Ballycanew this morning. There will be a run there on Sunday I believe

Wishbone Ash · 26-05-2017 09:01PM

Stunning 450SEL 6.9 spotted in Skerries this evening.

I know that shop well - my sister in law lives in Oulart!

Never seen that Jag though.

I don't live that far away from there and I think I have seen the car once before. An old lad drives it. Also, I saw a black Wolseley 1500 on a low ZV plate shortly after taking the Jag pic

Duke O Smiley · 26-05-2017 11:43PM

According to carsireland.ie the Jag is still with owner #1

Lancia Integrale near Galway Airport today

kyote00 · 27-05-2017 01:01AM

No pics unfortunately but today I saw

- Lancia Fulvia (red) absolutely belting along on M3 (clonee/blanch) in the fast lane

- 3-4 groups of Minis driving on M4 heading west this afternoon. Must be some event on

Wouldn't it be really cool if it was. He is an old guy who drives it.

What's the story with this. 07 reg w124.

Type 17 · 28-05-2017 04:36PM

They were assembled from kits in Indonesia until 2000 - the rest of the world finished in '96.

Perhaps an import that was never registered anywhere else?

Duke O Smiley · 28-05-2017 08:36PM

Tipperary raceway, obviously still working for it's keep!

Today I saw a classic and took a pic thread! Part 2
