Gem of an E34 with a gorgeous burgundy leather interior just off Bayswater Road in London.

Note: If anyone knows of there's tags to use to rotate photos, that would be great.

I saw this today coming out of lidl. I waited a while to see would the owner come out and I'd film it starting up. I had to go.

The paint job wasn't the best and the front wheel arches were

I saw this mini van last week.

Spotted by a family member in Dublin. Left hand drive. Anyone know where the plates might be from?

I saw the classic Panhard CD 3 days ago. I was mesmerized by how the owner managed to make it look like it just came out of the factory. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo since i was driving along the road. It will probably the first and last that i will ever see one.

87 Mercedes 300E in Tuam today

MrCostington · 03-08-2021 08:48AM

Wow that XR3 is a beaut! I saw a Mk3 in traffic last week, same colour and thought how it didn't look out of place in modern traffic, the design has aged very well.

RobMc59 · 05-08-2021 06:55AM

I saw this interesting vw yesterday.

Duke O Smiley · 05-08-2021 08:08PM

Beautiful drop top classic in Dalkey last week..

...and a Jag :P

Duke O Smiley · 05-08-2021 08:10PM

Two more out in the fine weather last week, and a bike in Rome yesterday:

Someone posted a picture of what looked like a Ford Popular 100E (1950s) bearing the UK Reg [FU2}. I cannot find it though.

FU2 is in fact a currently taxed RR 1967. The reg originally belonged to the hairdresser Teazy Weazy or Raymond Bessone who died in 1992. He had the reg on his RR so maybe it is still is the same RR.

Re my 123 coupe - since you were the second person to point that out I fixed it this week. Basically a prong in the bumper fits into a bracket in the wing - it completely missed the hole and was sitting on top of the bracket. Plus the main brackets they bolt onto the back had no washers and was rubbing against the paint! Some serious bodge work there! Sorry for OT post:)

No worries at all. It's great that it was just a simple job of realigning things, rather tha having to maybe do much more serious work. I'd bet it looks even smarter now after that, considering how nice it already was.

sligojoek · 07-08-2021 02:56AM

I'm in Rosses Point most days and had a bit of time to kill this morning so I took the scenic route home.

sligojoek · 07-08-2021 03:54AM

I was under pressure for time later in the day going through Boyle and hadn't time to stop.

I saw three beauties.

A gold convertible Morris Minor being towed by a camper van.

An 89 Saab.

An immaculate looking XJS v12

I was surprised to see it on anything but a Rolls Royce. I think there is a lot of difficulty getting 'rude' registration plates in the UK, and such a number would hardly ever be on a Ford 100E.

Thanks for clearing that up.

FU2 was owned by Paul Raymond and the reg was on his E Type as driven by his girlfriend, Fiona Richmond

I think I must have got the wrong Raymond, but it is currently on a Roller, and not a 100E Ford. Nice E Type.

MrCostington · 09-08-2021 09:17AM

East Wall yesterday. Spoke briefly to the owner, has had it 9 years.

mikehn · 09-08-2021 12:18PM

This Trabant was at the Ballymac Tralee classic run yesterday, the picture does not do it justice. The present owner bought it off a young lad who obviously put a lot of money and loving into it. When he ran the two cylinder it sounded a bit asthmatic BUT he had a secret weapon that he could use at the traffic lights, there was a massive sub woofer that the previous owner had left in the boot with a quality head unit. So he had a program on his phone that he could stream to the head unit that he could simulate the revving of a really loud V12. Magic 😂.
