St Anne's Park today. Spoke to the TR8 owner, he has it 2 years and drives it a fair bit. Was restored before. Looked lovely, clean underneath too.

The rise festival was on and there was some sort of dog related event on with a market. Not a car related show/event

Spotted in Kilfenora last weekend

And another Grandad spotted in Tuam. Very early 80's

Just to correct a typo in case you did not understand it! As jozi says was just a family day out. The National Transport Museum in Howth was showing the train thing and I juess the guy just drove his TR8 there, it was not on show as such.

SmartinMartin · 22-07-2019 08:53AM

Ok, I'll bite. Why is the Kilfenora honda cub there?

I knew of a Honda 50, that was bought new, back in the day, in Tipperary, driven home, and then never seen another mile again. I believe it was never registered. It sat for years and years, but was sold, and possibly around 2013. I wonder if this is it.

Good spot of the convertible G wagon. They don't come cheap

That's a 110, not a 50 though.

some photos from recent holliers in Portugal.
I haven't tagged what they are as I took so many pics between classics, oldies etc, so bit of a mixed bag. I'll post them in a few batches over the next few days.
Stayed in Estoril, about 15 miles from Lisbon. There were two back street garages 5 minutes either side of where we were staying, both seemed to specialise in older/classic stuff, so they'll make a few appearances in the pics..

tc20 · 23-07-2019 05:46PM

Portugal cont'd..
the last pic is a breakers yard practically across the road from the Estoril racetrack. Passed it going the other way where if I had the camera out, I would have got a better photo.
The pic I did get doesn't show half of the (older) stuff there

tc20 · 23-07-2019 05:50PM

and more...
the MG, Lotus and Sprite (I think) were in a museum down by Cascais harbour 0 sign on the window said they unfortunately were closed as they were at a historic event at Estoril track..nice :cool:

tc20 · 23-07-2019 05:54PM

..last batch of classics..more to appear in the other spotters threads

26000 Elephants · 23-07-2019 10:23PM

Wow, that lotus 7 is a rarity. Lotus left Delamere road in the mid 1960's

Ahh. I'm not up on bikes at all. Saw the 50 sticker on the back, and assumed it was a 50. For all I know, the 50 I knew of, could have been a 110 since I wouldn't be able to tell the difference

Garzard · 23-07-2019 10:28PM

Was quite surprised to see this - I went so far as to loop around the carpark again just to get a decent shot of it.
