    Outside a garage in Co. Galway. Been there a while.

    Lotus? Ferrari?

    Looks like a lotus elite to me, not the most desired lotus but still a shame to see it there, in fact I could hazard a guess that it's the same one that was for sale in kilpedder a few years ago and if it is it was very ropey back then.
    I couldn't drive it because the drive shaft had pulled from the hubs.

    Last taxed in 2009. Looks like it would be easily saved.

    Anyone know where this is and if it’s still around. It’s not too far from me and I’d love to go and have a look at it

    They were a truly gorgeous looking car. Were they unique to ireland and uk? Have looked for videos of them online but can't find any.

    No I think they were sold everywhere that the standard corolla was. They were called the Toyota Sprinter in Japan though.

    Spotted these at an abandoned Opel dealership near enough Nantes in France.

    It’s like they were on The forecourt when it closed.

    They're alright up there, I've bought a few oddities/oldies in the past from them

    Ford Orion 1.6 Ghia in Tuam today. Hardly a classic I know but these were top of the range.
    I owned one for years & loved it. Laden with extras.

    It's like an undercover Garda car of that era except for the sunroof.

    Was in Howth a few weeks back and took a stroll out to see if the Transport Museum was open, it wasn't, but all the gates and the yard was, and as well as a few restored items on display outside, I saw these trucks and vans out the back.

    The Yellow truck on the left seems to have some sort of telescopic / extendible platform on the back, the equivalent of today's cherry pickers, I think its a mid '50s Ford / Fordson Thames ET6 truck.

    The red truck on the right I assume was ex fire service, I think another Fordson truck, a 7V maybe

    Spotted in a farmyard in Carnaross, Co Meath this morning. 'IZO' - late 1981 Dublin reg.

    That's a 4 digit number followed by ZO.
    It would be 1973 Dublin.
    Could be a few salvageable parts there.

    Our Land Cruiser is 1981 and the reg is ***LZO. The father inlaw bought it new in 1981 too. That's gas that 'ZO' on its own was nearly 8 years previous. Funny the way the plates went back then.

    There would be four instances of most reg combinations:

    ZO nnnn (Not sure, but probably pre-war in Dublin)

    IZO nnn (late '68 or early '69 in Dublin)

    nnnn ZO ('73 in Dublin, like the Escort above)

    nnn IZO ('81 in Dublin, like Bus Boy's (gorgeous!) Land Cruiser)

    Thanks for that @Type 17.
