IRL 1 is a 58 chevy biscayne former property of the irish embassy in london. the car is registered with both the dvla diplomatic division and also with the irish motor tax office. the sad reality is that the irish embassy in london do have the option of buying back something they effectively sold indirectly many many years ago. the registration is truly unique. sadly, our government have absolutely no interest in it. they were made aware of the facts 15 years ago.
nobody seems to have noticed that this car was specially built in the states in late 57. it's right-hand drive ! hence, the car has a hugely significant value if exported to the united states...due to it's history and current 'duel' status which cannot be revoked.
it's was a beauty to drive when i drove it 15 years ago.
the real irish....live in america...for those who havn't copped !

I dont think Ive seen this type of car in here.
This type of car being a Hillman Imp.
And judging by the trim round the opening rear window and the trim along the body / engine lid edge, along with the three vent holes just above the rear window. I'm going for a Mk2 made between 1965-1968. It could be earlier, but it's definitely not a 1969-on Chrysler beer-can body.:p0 -

Mc Plaxton, you remind me of Poirrot who glances around the murder scene, works out who did it and why .
I remember lying under my cousins one in Harcourt 40 years ago and changing the rubber doughnut thingy on the drive shaft. he thought I was a genius. did it make me attractive to girls at parties? should have ,but no!

Interesting tale, thanks.no1beemerfan wrote: »My Uncle had one. Drove it everywhere at top speed and one day he went from Sligo to Dublin (in the late 80's) in less that 2 hours and was doing the same speed on the way home....he says about 120 mph when she decided she'd enough of his driving and set herself on fire!
He just had time to pull over and jump out and the whole car went up on flames! Still talks about her!
Personally I dislike when people refer to a car (or motorbike) as a female - she/her etc. It's an it, for Gawd's sake!
There, I've got that off my chest.Not your ornery onager
