Ahh no. Pablo wins the prize.

So, it's a MK 3.5? Thought only the 90's Fiesta held that.

She's a pretty rough girl. Are they going for the patina look, or just don't give a fcuk? Like, how does it fair out with the NCT?

sligojoek · 30-10-2019 02:39AM

Ya, she's a leftie alright. Wipers and discholders point that way too.

I'd seen the car earlier in the day and wasn't able to get a pic. I saw it later in this car park took these.

I tried zooming in but the phone camera was set to low res. I can just make out the ins. disc to be 11/15. Don't think NCT was a priority. Looks like it was pulled out of a shed that morning.

Duke O Smiley · 30-10-2019 08:29AM

That Escort is NCT’d for two years (30 years old so gets a 2 year test)

I think the insurance cert is folded a bit on the end, making it look like “11/15” but it looks to me like it says “11/19”

Great to see something as mundane as it is, and curiously LHD, in regular use! Good spot Joe!

Ultra rare beast on the M7 an hour ago, an Audi/ Auto Union 1000s. Gorgeous.

That's my DKW 1000S, it's clocked a lot kms this year.

You were motoring along all right! Stunning car, it's a credit to you.

I know where there is one that was stripped, ready to be painted, and left in the rain. A shame.

Any info on it?.

JabbaTheHut · 31-10-2019 01:38PM

I can call into the guy and ask about it. He'd sell it I reckon. I do know the yard was cleaned up recently, and it got moved about, so hopefully everything is there.

I'd appreciate that, let me know how you get on.

Sorry folks, deleted my last post as I meant it for the Classic Irish Bargains thread but somehow posted it here

:D

SmartinMartin · 01-11-2019 11:09AM

Lovely car, but I just can't bring myself to "like" that because of those awful plates.

A nice LHD Beetle in the happy hunting ground of a Lidl carpark. Muskerry Vintage Club sticker on screen.

Speaking of plates, I went to see an '89 Mercedes 190 today that a friend of a friend has for sale and he had just VRT'd it and put it on ZV plates. I asked why he did that and his answer was so he didnt have to NCT it !!

I'm convinced that they are making better idiots every year!

I think it would be disingenuous of me to claim those points.
