    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!!)

    .........that Pagoda is always left outside there, he uses it himself.He has tidyed it up again, last time I saw it it was very rough indeed.

    That outher car, the one badges as a 280SE 3.5 would be a very pricey car IF it was real but its a 220SE and painted in a modern Mercedes colour, Chalcedony Blue, which ruins it IMO. A restored 3.5 Cab would run in excess of €70k, whilst a 220SE would be half that in similar condition.

    It was in superb condition, been driven by a young (under 30) lady. She looked well in it.

    Colour looked like a sea green, but it may have been different. Lovely car.

    Was on holidays in France recently...

    Saw this nice Manta, every day driver

    img6536.th.jpg


    Was in small museum and they had lots of nice restorations but a few real clangers..

    These particularly caught my eye and the Opel GT was a cracker..

    I have a few more but the upload speed is shockingly slow at the moment... :mad:

    ...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...
    It may have been a Bristol 412 like this one...
