Seen a couple of days back...

^could almost be a mercedes press shot!!:D

trevorbrady · 09-08-2008 11:13AM

^^ I was just thinking that shot could almost have been taken back in the '70s

:D

carchaeologist · 09-08-2008 11:20AM

Yes,the dan dooley kennelling sign fits in well with it!!If that modern car wasnt in shot it would be spot on...photoshop anyone!?:P

carchaeologist · 10-08-2008 09:13PM

For sale in a garage in tralee,yours for the princely sum of eu9950....
Looks a good straight machine too,though id say the front has been painted or has had a set of wings at some stage,the pinstriping doesnt carry into the wings on both sides,has full leather inside,very nice looking.:)

That's quite expensive for that car. There's a prisitine one on carzone for the same price and on Irish plates.

What year is it anyway

Is it my eyes or is the door a different shade to the 1/4 panel too?? Are the garages in Kerry going mad with no Americans to rip off?

I was in Moynalty today and thought this renault was worthy of a photo.

Max_Damage · 11-08-2008 09:22AM

Any more pictures from Moynalty?

I didn't bother going afterall. Was it a mud fest like last year?

Cocoon · 11-08-2008 01:10PM

It wasn't a mudfest this year but the turnout of classic cars wasn't as good as previous years. I didn't see any yanks bar the truck. Here's a few more pic's...

carchaeologist · 12-08-2008 12:00AM

And the carina II makes me feel old!!:rolleyes:

I know how you feel about the carina II thats why I took the photo, I had an 86 one back in the early 90's great car it was too.

Max_Damage · 12-08-2008 12:32AM

My 80's car curiosity has gotten the better of me again! What do you reckon that red car is in the background? A Corolla E70, or even a Nissan Stanza?

carchaeologist · 12-08-2008 12:48AM

Hmm...a toughie!!Has the lines of a MK3 escort possibly too.....and it looks like its on english plates?

Nice MK1 GTE astra to the left!!

Cocoon · 12-08-2008 12:50AM

Looks like a Volvo 340 to me, but unfortunatly I've no snaps in that direction.

Cocoon · 12-08-2008 01:02AM

Just to enlarge it from the original photo. I'm not sure myself what it is.

carchaeologist · 12-08-2008 01:03AM

Nissan bluebird coupe?

charlieIRL · 12-08-2008 01:13PM

too many pages to go thru so hope this isn't a repost........
spotted this DS in Athlone a few weeks ago, still looking great.

Max_Damage · 12-08-2008 02:01PM

^ I don't know, it sort of looks like it has the hatchback look of an Escort Mk3 or a Stanza.

FarSide · 12-08-2008 02:09PM

Mk3 Escort, for sure.

Blue850 · 12-08-2008 02:10PM

I think its a Corolla KE70 too,like the red one here

Rear lights don't match that of the Mk3:

Blue850 · 12-08-2008 02:32PM

look at the angle on the corners of the rear screen

^ That's more like it!

I actually never seen that body style of E70 before. Only the saloon version.

Looks like we have our answer,the curves give it away!!

There was a few of those smashed up in demolition derbys in rosegreen in the early 90s(must get a scanner to scan a few of my pics in),alays liked the look of those cars.Rare now.....

Window looks right, but the lights are wrong. Mirrors look wrong too.

Good car, and in RHD.

You're right, of course, and the rear quarter lights are wrong - I was misled by the red shade that Mk3s faded into. The Corolla is a new one to me, but that certainly looks like the one.

Today I saw a classic and took a pic thread!
