I bought it from a well known renault guy in Kilkenny about 7-8 years ago.
Has had two 'restorations'....
I did a major mechanical in 2015 -->
new water pump, belts
reconditioned alternator
reconditioned distributor
new points, coil, leads etc
new clutch
Last year, did the body restoration - mostly doors, jacking points, suspension, full paint and new interior !
Dublin car (north county) and mostly lived in Lusk and Clontarf....
Service stamps on the inside of the bonnet and Padre Pio sticker in back window.... so all bases covered

been waiting weeks to get a pic of all of them together . I had hoped to get my neighbours immaculate 1990 w124 estate into it too but I've not got round to it
So here is 2 pics featuring my "fleet"
The Merc is on Irish plates now - I did it slightly differently, I booked a VRT appointment and went and bought a car to bring along !:D

Wow, looks fantastic! Any more details?
Your dad was so keen on the MGB, you weren't. How did you manage to convince him to sell it?
As nice as the MGb was for nostalgia reasons, they are pretty awful to drive and you dont get much pleasure out of it. Plus the market went up on them and a profit was to be had so we felt the time was right. I think this Audi is more my style than his so I win this time around.
The Audi is a clean example but no show car. Originally a UK car that was brought over 4 years ago by a lovely gentleman who did a few bits to it to tidy it up. It has a decent history and drives well and was obviously looked after. And it has an all important NCT which can be rare enough got 80's cars. I'll upload more pics some other day.
Its only the 1.8 but goes pretty well even with that. I think it was the engine used in the Golf GTI from that era.0 -
