It's a Lancia Flaminia Coupé Pininfarina. The interior was spotless but not perfect which is nice to see. Some of these restored classics, you'd be afraid to sneeze near!

That looks remarkably similar to the Peugeot 404.

Another case of Pininfarina selling the same design to two companies, perhaps?

A bit like the Peugeot 404 vs Austin Cambridge?

I'm really hoping to see this car around Dublin.
Always loved Flaminias!

You should see the house repairs that guy does for a living!!!!:eek: He used to have a Sunbeam Alpine too years ago, I think more Isopon than metal iirc....

I remember seeing that MG around Youghal too, although it's looking a bit the worse for wear than when I last saw it (probably around 2005, I used to spend a lot of time in Youghal when my grandparents lived there but they died in '02 and '04 and I haven't been down much since). It is indeed used as a daily driver by a local handyman, known to everyone in the town as 'Roofs', his real name may well be lost to history!

^ Brings back memories of the pre-NCT days! The one that got away!

I saw this same car 3 weeks ago and when I saw it coming towards me, i thought that it had been rescued from a shed for restoration,,,but am surprised that its an everyday car.

Spotted this very clean Westmeath reg. (BLI) Fiesta Mk1 earlier this morning in Mullingar town. I've seen it there a few times before, but this is the first time I got a photo of it.

Only driven once a month - in to town to cash the Creamery cheque!

kasper · 01-09-2010 12:38AM

i see it about quite a bit and i dont think it even has a tow bar i think the post before that was in jest

Max_Damage · 01-09-2010 12:42AM

It's a woman that always drives it. And you're right, it doesn't have a towbar.

kasper · 01-09-2010 12:43AM

Max_Damage · 09-09-2010 07:03PM

I was in France and Jersey (Channel Islands) over the past few days. Brought the Escort Mk6 with me on the trip. Got a good few pics...

Spotted these in France:

They seem to badge these as 'GME' on the continent. Saw a Bedford Midi with the same badge.

Today I saw a classic and took a pic thread!
