The Bridesmaids in the 280, they must have been hardy.

Now that's a fine collection.

As far as I know that Volvo is in regular use...though the years of tree sap etc haven’t done the body much good. It always looked quite forlorn

Nice tc20!

Spotted this in Rathmines this evening, it's slightly blurry unfortunately!

Noticed also in Terenure today along the Templeogue Road there's a nice silver Volvo 244 that's been parked up in one of the driveways - hidden from view under trees and other cars; looks like it hasn't moved in years. Shame to see any classic being let to rot!

^ Alfa 75 there Garzard, rare enough these days.
Ran from the mid 80s to early 90s, replaced by the 155.
Nice recent spots there too in your other posts!

Cheers! Thought it might have been a Quattro when I passed by it this morning, nearly jumped with excitement. :pac:

I came close to owning that Golf (the red one!) a couple of years ago. It’s a lovely example

Can anyone identify this one? Spotted it from my bus this morning in Terenure, but couldn't get a photo on time. This is a Google Maps screenshot, best view I could get. Looks like an Alfa Romeo to me.

Previous post fixed. Another from today outside work - this one seems to be a daily driver; see it most mornings on my way in.

Garzard

Feck, added them on the desktop but only have the mobile right now (can't add them on this). Will fix it later when I get home to a PC. Apologies!

This is partly what I love about Ballsbridge and the surrounding area - a little bit of everything classic-wise. A few from today:

A 92 E34 is surely a classic, young timer at least

Hmmm, I hope the driver was meant to be there . . . . . Speeding tickets sent to offenders now don't show the drivers face for privacy reasons. Pics of the cars yes . . . . . but pics of the driver and or passenger ? ? Are we on thin ice here ?

I've looked at the photo a few times, and all I can see is a red BMW !!!
Am I missing something, or am I too used to servicing 'classics'.
Honestly, if that car turned up at my shop, I'd direct him to the nearest BMW dealership.... seriously, are 'classics' these days getting younger, or am I getting older, or is the range of posters on here simply 'younger'.

I've also checked the reg of my daily driver (a vehicle I use for ferrying kids, family, tools, spares, and towing) and it's a few years OLDER, and I don't consider it a classic...

Rant over....

The driver is not identified, his name, address nor date of birth are not disclosed, he and his car are in a public place, so no GDPR problems arise.

Great to see it still being used for its intended purpose

It's the engine that's different. S1 has a straight 6. S2 has a V8.

Original Dublin reg too. I wonder who owned it when new?

Sorry, read the "B" as an "A".
Had "Star Sapphire" in my head for some reason.
Looked fantastic in the line of pleb-mobiles, I let him into the queue, and he give a royal type wave

Rolling off the W B Yeats in Cherbourg ladt Friday. Drop dead gorgeous Armstrong Siddley ( I think) off on the holidays.
Fair play to them, not many would take a sixty year old on such a trip.
