Thanks a million for bring so generous with your time and information. It's great to see that there are realistic options for Irish cars to be restored outside Ireland.

That's what I love about Boards.ie you learn so much from other people's experiences and advice ..

Great thread - my parents had a few 2cv's and Dianes when we were in primary school (all in 30's now) and we used to be mortified being dropped off in them, but have a real soft spot for them now. There was a particular time my mother brought 3 of our friends to a football match, as everyone wanted a spin in a yellow and black 2cv, and she got lost and never made it - school was missing 3 of the best players and lost the match :P

Called into the guys in Kingscourt today as I am getting different bits improved on the car. Great to see the progress on the Mercedes 190 SL roadster now that it has been painted since I made the first post on this thread cost of the work so far €17000 ..

I love those old Citroen vans.
I thought the car on the lift above the SL was a Fiat 500 (from the rear) but the 2nd pic reveals its one of those bubble cars (BMW Isetta ??)

All in all did it come in on your budget, and no doubt you got a far better car than anything
available at the time.

Yes in budget no extra expenses but because of Brexit transport costs have gone up with direct ferries from France..
