Lyre, does yours look like this? :

Yup, that is what mine looks like, story goes that the first ones to go to the states were flown over for a press do of some sort. When the cars were taken off the plane the front glass exploded and was then banned!

I saw a Citroen Visa in Terenure yesterday. It was cream in colour and badly rusted. No picture though (lack of camera and/or camera phone).

Wishbone Ash · 08-10-2006 03:16PM

Two from today - a Dublin registered Beetle 1303 and a London registered MG (1972?).

It's a car getting lashed out of it in the Dublin rain!

Fair play, Q: how do you keep the rust at bay, owner?

No piccie im afraid but spotted in Blackrock DART carpark, a very nice mid 60s
MB 280SE coupe, black with red leather. And im guessing at this, but there was a period badge on the grill, possibly "ADAC"

A 1932 Ford truck spotted in Santry this afternoon and another Beetle spotted near Blake's Cross this evening. (Apologies for poor quality of pics).

Yehhh the '32 Ford Truck has been used for years by relatives of mine as advertising for their buitchers business !

Was the black 280SE Coupe a LHD example ?

Those SM's are gorgeous, and the Chaprons are fab, though I still prefer the DS Chapron !!

When I spotted that truck outside the ashfield(ashleaf??) shopping centre I always thought there was no engine in it for some reason, probably because I could see though the slots in the engine bay. Always a wonder why knackers didn't do anything bad to it. When I knew that that was safe it made me feel more comfortable about the mustang.

Just saw a LHD, "yellow-grey" Citroën DS (19?) going up and down the Coast Road between Portmarnock and Malahide. Lovely... The bloke was taking his son for a spin, and the boy looked quite chuffed

another recruit for the brotherhood

how about this shortened prototype? Isn't that cool ?

I can kinda see where the inspiration for the C4 came from!

Eric318 · 12-10-2006 02:18PM

that's what happens when you leave Gallic motor engineers alone with a chainsaw and unlimited supplies of Beaujolais...

GX, SM, CX, Visa, all had chopped rear ends...

Excellent - any pics?

overdriver · 16-10-2006 04:17PM

Saw a white Mustang at the end of Francis Street at about eight o'clock last night. No pics, sorry...

Blue850 · 16-10-2006 05:39PM

Saw a navy W108 280SE and a Grey Karmann Ghia in the Firhouse area yesterday, a white Ponton Mercedes near Ballinsaloe.

Max_Damage · 16-10-2006 09:05PM

Saw a 1992 dark green Rover Montego last week in Greenhills, Tallaght. They are definetly a rare sight nowadays.

mike65 · 20-10-2006 06:10PM

Okay its boring but this one was in particuarly good nick.

Mike.

ToyotaDyna · 25-10-2006 06:22PM

I saw a 1950s? big Grey pontiac on Beaumont Road on a tow truck. Looked like new!!

I managed to take a picture and I will upload it when I get a chance.

Max_Damage · 26-10-2006 01:29PM

Saw a early 70's Buick Riveria ('boat-tail' model) last night near the Meath hospital. I didn't realise how big they were until I was right up beside it.

MercMad · 26-10-2006 02:56PM

Yeah they are a monster, never look as big on the screen !

Was it a red one ??

I've seen a red one around and aslo a bronze coloured one !

Lyre61 · 26-10-2006 07:59PM

There is one parked near the bretzel all the time (off the south circular Road)

BigCon · 26-10-2006 08:45PM

I think it was red, it was night so it was hard to tell. A car like that deserves to be in a garage (or two!

)

Also, just looking at the Reliant Robin above, I saw a blue one the other day (can't actually remember where exactly), but it looked like the one that Mr. Bean hated!

corktina · 27-10-2006 07:12AM

MAx, you are getting confused......

the Trotter one in the picture is a Robin but SHOULD be a Regal and Mr Beans enemy wasnt a Robin but WAS a Regal.....

also why do people (not you) say Robin Reliant when it is Reliant Robin??

Nevr thought Id see the day I posted about these plastic yokes with a wheel missing.....

dubtom · 28-10-2006 02:29AM

There is one of those robins/reliants/regals (will that do corky;) )off infirmary road in general lee colours, beside it sits what I think is a white lincon, not sure of the model and across the road from that is a monster of a yank that I haven't investigated yet. The lincon has a for sale sticker in the window. I've been meaning to snap it for ages but defo will now that it has a few chums.

corktina · 28-10-2006 04:15AM

love the thought of the Relaint in general lee colours...yee harrrrr!

Wishbone Ash · 01-11-2006 05:41PM

I saw an Edsel Pacer in Santry today and took a picture but I can't seem to get it to upload.

ToyotaDyna · 01-11-2006 08:42PM
