Today I saw a classic and took a pic thread!

Another bloody stickie! If you spot a classic and take a shot please put it here rather than start a fresh thread.

I'll start, I spotted this Lotus Elan parked in Catherine Street here in Waterford. Had'nt seen it before. Today I also saw 2 Silver Clouds, and 2 Jenson Interceptors but they were moving and so was I

Looks like the tractor is nervous and jumped up off the bed!:p

Hermy

I reckon the bed is 60 foot. Unfortunately I missed the truck.
For some reason yer man had an old tractor at either end of the trailer[rear one just out of shot].
Reminded me of the time all them tractors were being hauled to Cooley penninsula for that world record a while back.

Here's a rather sorry looking Capri parked by the ferry - a 1972 1600GT XLR according to Cartell.

Sold on ebay on January 17th, was only across the pond about 15 miles from holyhead. Took them a while to get it home considering it's location.

Does anyone know what the bike on the right is?

It's an electric bicycle, more accurately a Giant LA free Sports (slope frame model). Looks like an aftermarket fitment of a disk brake front wheel too.:pac::pac::pac:

Doesn't come up on Cartell.

My apologies, the Trans-Am I was thinking of was 79 D 83.
It was a 400ci, originally a dark brown metallic and was owned by Bolands on Pinnock Hill, later owned by Joe Headon and it was resprayed red and white for the Budweiser promotion at the time. '87 or '88??

Although it would look quite naff now I thought it was pretty groovy at the time!

I like this one with the dummy underneath!

Interesting take on the ZV plate too..

Hi carchaelogist

Yes it was a very nice touch, was even thinking a garage set up like that at a show would be super in a large tent as such. Besides Rover P5B they are all Irish cars the Morris Minor reg is MMI but he moved the I to numbers and spray her gold for 50th anniv for Morris Minor. Yes the Rover nice touch in spilting V8 part of he ZV was a nice touch another fellow in the club has a Stag and did the same with it. Not sure how legal it is but looks good and all the gigits are there. He hardly use his cars and they are all in very good nick even the bikes are Irish and has owned them for years. Also the little one next to the Rover is a 1928 or 38 Morris also Irish, next time I am there will get a proper pic of it. The Stag was last out 1.5 years ago and it was on the tip to toe around Ireland when we did charty run for Crumlins childrens Hospital.

Hi all,

We had a Thursday evening meeting for those can't make the Sunday meeting.
It went well with a number of members who would normally miss the Sunday turned up on the Thursday evening.

It was held at long time standing member of the club, garage and what a garage to have at the back of your house.

Gerry thank you very much for everything it was a great evening.

Next month's Thursday meeting for members will be held a Franks and he will be showing us how to do lead loading on body work, it is a lost art form and I am looking forward to that one.. All details will going out to members by email and text as normal.
Here are a few pictures from the evening including a few of Gerry's car's in their cosy garage.

Note most are Irish, and he has owned them for years, it was very interesting to hear the back ground stories to each of them.

The crew

Gerry great evening and thanks a mill, also thanks to Cecil and Adrienne for the photos as I forgot my camera.

Dublin registered Beetle spotted in Santry Avenue Industrial Estate this morning (with a little dog inside). I wouldn't be mad on the two tone colour scheme. All purple would look much better IMO.

Today I was amazed to see an SI registered (1986) Lada Riva still going strong!:eek: I thought they were all most definitely extinct by now.

That's even rarer than the Uno posted above!
