North Wicklow recent sightings..and the Magnette near Deansgrange

tc20 · 02-10-2018 01:13PM

^ re the Magnette, would anyone know what the script on the drivers door is?
It would appear to be painted on, rather than a badge. Coachbuilders name, or the owners pet name for the car??

Spotted recently with keys in the ignition and no sign of the owner

BionicRasher · 03-10-2018 03:42PM

Nice hat!

Must be a 924 thing. I often leave the keys hanging out of the immobiliser under the dash while I pay for petrol, run into a newsagent etc.

New EU directive requires agricultural tractors capable of speeds of over 40km/h to have a valid test. This came into force earlier this year.

this only applies for tractors used for commercial/non-farm purposes, a building company etc. If it's running on green, it doesn't need a test.

Any link for that, hoodie6029?

Yep, in the exemptions section on this page. Islanders get a complete exemption

Very risky. It's also an offence to leave keys in the ignition of an unattended vehicle. Insurance companies wouldn't be impressed either, in the event of a theft claim.

Hmm, a '61 pre-Farina. The Farina was displayed at Earls Court in 1959 or so, and soon after went on sale. I've a Farina (16/60 from '71). Likely late '50s. I might check the Farina Forum to narrow it down, as cars get small changes, which can narrow down the year.

Overend? Isn't that the family that owns / owned Airfield?

sligojoek · 20-10-2018 11:30PM

Ya. It says "Airfield Estate" in the display.

Victoria Clarke did an article about them in the Sindo about 10 years back.

Well lads, saw this yoke in Canada, not sure if it qualifies as a classic, but either way if you could advise what it is let us know.
