    Wow, an original Dublin Reg Peugeot 404 convertible. I didnt think any of them were sold here. IZO must be a mid 60s number. I saw one in Paris a week ago, white with black top.
    Sept/oct 1968.Apparently even though its LHD it was sold here new.

    Double post, sorry.

    Saw a mint red Mk1 Escort van on a ZF plate in college today, didn't get a pic of it though. :(

    Also, didn't someone in Castlemartyr have a turquise-coloured Datsun 120Y/Cherry on a ZF plate? Haven't seen it recently, but it used to be parked by the road on the Cork side of the town.

    I was down in Glendalough on Saturday and saw what looked like 50 Mk2 Escorts parked along the road outside the visitors car park - no pics i'm afraid.

    I know of a couple for sale here on the continent, prices for a good one start from anywhere between 15-20k..., but you can pick up an nice acceptable runner for 10-15k

    That Range Rover would have been first registered on the 2/1977, and only available in 2 door version. So it can be taken that its a newer 4 door shell fitted to an earlier chassis which is quite common with Range Rovers. The Range Rover chassis will even take a MK1 Discovery shell.

    This absolutely mint Fiesta turned up on my road about 5 weeks ago and has not moved since. Immaculate example.

    That looks like a relatively old tax disc in the window, although it is down as being taxed till July 2010 on mywheels.
