Today I saw a classic and took a pic thread!

Another bloody stickie! If you spot a classic and take a shot please put it here rather than start a fresh thread. I'll start, I spotted this Lotus Elan parked in Catherine Street here in Waterford. Had'nt seen it before. Today I also saw 2 Silver Clouds, and 2 Jenson Interceptors but they were moving and so was I :D Mike.

This is daily use by the looks of it, and in reasonably good condition too.

That is all.

^ The Maserati is a Bora.

Someone used to have either a Bora or a Merak in Limerick in the late 80's. I remember seeing one driving around when I was in college.

The Merak has a smaller engine, only has the buttresses at the rear and are cheaper to buy(Yes! I know there are other differences).
I have to admit to having a hankering for a Merak. Hopefully I can afford one before they appreciate too much.

There is still a yellow Bora doing the rounds in Limerick I'd see it every now and then.

I often see this Mk4 estate in Rathfarnham, driven by an OAP couple. First time though I got a pic of it:

2001 Fiat Panda Mk1:

I think it looks great, if it is as good as it looks ,it is worth that price.

Check out 0391, that's a Lancia Fulvia Sport! They're a very rare car, even the windscreen's got to be worth good money. The Campagnolo wheels too.

#0386 is a bertone coupe, probably a 1600.

Looks like there are salvagable parts on it too.

Anyone know where these cars are, I might offer a few quid for the Alfa if I could have a look at it in person.

thats the one I call the zagato, in fact I think it was you Anan who identified it two years ago when i said it had a chrome y piece of script on the bonnet perhaps saying fulviasportie.
you can see the twin carbs of it under the piece of bush.
The bonnet was on it two years ago, and is either now gone or elsewhere.

This car is rotten beyond belief but i believe it is worth quite a bit still.

That car is 73 and an import, the rot is bad but the car is all there.

I had it in my head that it was a 1750 gt , but I am only a passing Alfa fan.

Will let you know of developments
