Outlaw 356A and '74 Westy in Galway.

(Ok, I didn't spot them, I drove in convoy with them)

Here a bit of a teaser. 4 cars in the following photo, front one is easy, two in the middle are more difficult, maybe not even recognisable but the cabrio at the back left is really interesting, was shocked when I saw it in real life, one of my absolute favourite cars of all time and tbh if I ever win a million on the lotto its the first thing I'd buy. I'll put up a better photo and tell what it is tomorrow if noone gets it.

Attachment not found.

The front one's a Renault 5 Turbo/Turbo2, there's a Citroen SM behind it. Is the next one another SM? The car at the back is (I think) a Citroen DS Chapron convertible.

It was Mrs WA who took the pic while I was in the shop. I've her well trained!

(Probably would have taken a better shot myself though!).

agreed, is it me or are people trying to "get rich" quick out of classic cars

Dades · 25-08-2009 05:28PM

I reckon people who aren't in need of a quick sale chance their arm for a while.

Makes actually pricing anything difficult as the small ads are full of those chancers!

Three classic Mercs, all in the same carpark today:

W123 and W201

W126

The W123 in particular was an absolute minter; didn't get a good look at the W126 though.

It looks like that VW was originally an American import, judging by the sidelights in the doors.

Sorry for the incredibly bad phone pic.. This has been knocking around tralee for years.

Still has its original,very faded plates front and rear.

Max_Damage · 27-08-2009 08:11PM

^ Funny, their is an 'SI' reg. one of those, estate too, around south Dublin. Have yet to get a picture of it.

sogood · 27-08-2009 09:46PM

Saw these two Mercs outside a well known premises at Annesley Bridge in Dublin. I was sitting in a coach in traffic and couldn't get a good shot of the dark blue pick up conversion in the foreground. reminded me of a recent post from someone considering chopping a 6 series BMW. (Sacreligious!!)

trad · 27-08-2009 10:01PM

Saw this in Bunmahon, Co Waterford last weekend. No idea what it is

Saw this at Waterford Bike show. Its a 1968 mini with rear wheel drive, a 600cc honda engine and chain drive

Today I saw a few interesting cars but got no pics.:(
I spotted two or three immaculate Mk II Jags heading for the ferry, I discovered some rusty A40's (I think) at the top of Ticknock Road, and I spotted a car I've never seen before coming through Ranelagh. I would describe it as a two door saloon convertible - it looked Italian. I also spotted a spotless SI registered Starlet.
Bloody slow moving traffic is never there when you need it.

Today I saw a classic and took a pic thread!
