I agree, but in reality, the number of right hand drive imports will slow down drastically with Brexit, unless I'm very much mistaken.

While we shouldn't derail the thread, the number of imports, or where they come from, shouldn't come into it - if a country doesn't allow registration transfers, then the plates allocated to a historic vehicle are more a part of its history than if a reg can be selected/changed anytime.
Irish import reg's (both ZV and year/county) for vehicles before 2011 are a disgrace, and given that modern technology allows for speedy and easily traceable transfers, it's just laziness and apathy that is preventing it happening.

I know that exercises a lot of us here, but is it not time to either reverse ZV and make it a suffix or have multiple vintage plates for the State? They're starting to look daft.

And seeing as the rule for a ZV is "30 years old" and not pre-87, it's only gonna get worse as more and more 90s gems make it over here.

Since we've started doing that import plate nonsense on post-87 format ones, we're out of sequences anyway so the iterative consistency has been long lost.

Supervalu Knocklyon this evening, a common classic but still a nice, clean example and have seen it numerous times around the Southside.

Love E30s, had 3 of them back in the day. Some difference in size between one of them and the latest 3 series!

That has just been rebuild from the ground up by 2 MG mechanics in Greystones and resprayed by D&W in Wicklow Town. All in it was restored over approximately 6 months.

Fantastic car. I had the pleasure of detailing before it was handed back to the owner last week.

Its a credit to all who were involved - it looked like it had just come fresh from the showroom.

Crap quality pic of an old 626 in pristine condition last week in the local Tesco.

Type 17

It's close to Thistle Silver (Silberdistel), but it's actually the earlier colour called Silbergrün (Silver Green).

tc20

@ Type17 - I think its "Thistle green", and yep, really suits the W116 and the R107/C107 (the SL model that ran from early 70s through to late 80s)

Nice old S-Class in Greystones recently.
I've always thought this model is underrated, very elegant if somewhat staid lines...

I agree, and that's the best colour too

I've always thought this model is underrated, very elegant if somewhat staid lines, though the front double bumper looks a bit like Armco from this angle..

edited to add I saw a silver Renault 5 turbo passing through Glenealy in Wicklow on Saturday but couldn't get a pic as I was driving. I think it was on ZV plates but not 100%

Magnette in Kilkenny recently.
