    Not strictly abandoned anymore as its in the yard now,a 1981 renault Trafic.Originally a goods van owned new by Smiths on the Naas rd,were they motor distributers?
    Then converted professionally to a camper sometime in the 80s,lift up roof and all.May or may not end up in the scrapper pending further investigations.

    That's been there for years... Gives a new meaning to raised flower beds! I guess that's what they call a hydropneumatic self leveling horticultural system in your front yard! It was only a few flowerpots a few years back... Looking good!

    Judging by the rust, I'd say this one will have disappeared by Friday. :D

    Why would someone import a car, re-register it, and then leave it rust away!
    the mind boggles:confused::mad:

    ^^^^That used be out by nevillles along with a few merc's,Theres only 1 merc left now...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,031 ✭✭✭Silvera


    No pic Im afraid, but...

    Spotted an 87-D reg red Sierra 5dr hatch parked in a front driveway on Clonliffe Rd last night (it's on the r/h side on the way to Croke park). I think it could be a Mk1 Sierra ..rare nowadays. Looked to be in good condition.

    Perhaps somebody here could get a pic. (I don't live in Dublin, was just passing on the way to the Ireland v Montenegro match)
