There was blue one at Mosney about 7 or 8 years ago, we let it out of a junction in Dublin and followed it, I remember it was putting out a lot of blue smoke.

.................probably just from all the fuel it was burning !

There's a good few about nowdays, in addition to the cars mentioned already I know of probably another 5.

There was an add on Carzone for a Rolls Royce Corniche late last year and in the picture were two 600's parked behind. One was a blue one almost completed and another that looked like a parts car, both at a Dublin dealer. I know Junky knows the whereabouts of at least another 1 in Cork

Don't think so. I remember seeing Dev a couple of times when I was a kid and he was driven around in a black Roller, possibily a late 30's early 40's job. Also saw photos of him beside the car.

The rolls with the reg ZJ5000?

Matching colours... nice. The '02 looks a bit sad though...

That wasn't the one at the Tipp show about two weeks ago was it?

Par72 · 01-05-2009 10:58PM

Saw this on Bray seafront this evening.

I don't know. I saw Dev & car in Ballabridge in maybe '68/69.

Edit: Maybe 1970?

Is that pic from the car show in The Point in the late 80's?

Kevin_Herron · 02-05-2009 10:02AM

Or is it 100 years of Motoring in the RDS in '86?

Could be. Does look a bit more like the RDS all right.

DarenO · 02-05-2009 12:51PM

Hermy, Kevin

Taken in the Point, i think it was the first time it was opened because it still had the pit in the middle, it wasn't actually that great a show there were probably 50 cars in total

The gullwing Merc was taken in the RDS, but i can't remember if it was the Motor Show or the 100 years of Motoring

Blue850 · 03-05-2009 01:11PM

Another 600 on Donedeal.ie and is that a white one with black roof in the background?

Volvoboy · 03-05-2009 05:05PM

Wishbone Ash · 03-05-2009 11:37PM

Mk IV Cortina (Derry City reg.) spotted in Coolock this afternoon (apologies for crap pic - didn't have camera with me).

L-M · 04-05-2009 12:21AM

^^^ I'd say not more than a few hundred would buy that yoke.

..am over in buenos aires for a few months...lots of old cars around..mainly french and italian....took these today in 10 minutes from around my block..will build a better collection over time....

what is this car?

I like the roof rack on the renault 12 which is very north american
I reckon that the Ford Falcon was built in the mid 80s and looks like it has
Mark1 Granada wheels...

so many fiat 127s and Peugeot 504s in 2009, wouldnt see this in France or Italy today

looks like a Simca 1500 coupe?

Luke Crowley · 04-05-2009 03:17PM

Classic beauty, timeless elegance. And a Gordon Keeble.

Flesh Gorden · 04-05-2009 06:56PM

I think it might be a replica - on Cartell it registers as a Ford Mustang - 5.7L - a 302 would be 4.9

Impossible to tell though -

If it is real, I wouldn't be surprised if it made close to $500,000 at the likes of Barret Jackson

Kevin_Herron · 04-05-2009 08:17PM

Id imagine it is a replica.

I didnt think the Boss Mustangs were available with auto trans or had chrome around the rear lights or cut outs for the exhausts, maybe it was an option?

It doesnt take from the fact that its a cracking looking car. Grabber blue is an excellent colour on those Mustangs, unfortunetly you dont see it enough!

Big Nasty · 04-05-2009 08:36PM

Defo a tribute car, quite a few bits wrong for a proper Boss, anyhow it would cost that much for a real one that it would probably not be driven regularly or certainly not left in a B&Q carpark, although I do see the driver took care to take up two spots!

Sweet motor mind you!

G Luxel, the first car in the Buenos Aires pics is a Second Gen Plymouth GTX, kinda a 'Ghia' model of the Road Runner. Came with a 440 engine as standard IIRC.

Kevin_Herron · 04-05-2009 09:16PM

The first car in the Buenos Aires is some sort of export model- It shares almost no similarities to the U.S models.

Its a weird looking car.

What makes you think it's not an original model Kevin?

Kevin_Herron · 04-05-2009 09:31PM

Just by looking at it- it looks nothing like a U.S GTX, look at the big roundy wheel arches!

Well spotted - the wheel arches are dead wrong!

galwaytt · 04-05-2009 10:46PM

....Ennistymon, Co Clare.

And I got a spin in it, too !!

And, you know what, the LHD didn't bother me a jot !

hi there, i don't have a single clue bout classic cars but was hoping some of you might help me with this - it was for sale on the N5 at Ballyvarry outside Castlebar a few weeks ago. I know it's dark but I'd love to find out the make/model!!!

Today I saw a classic and took a pic thread!
