Thanks very much for posting that photograph of the car.

It is taken on Gardiner Street. Harveys Guest House in the background is still there!

Kevin, did you ever get pics of the collection of yank tanks that are stored close to Patrick Street?

Capri · 01-12-2012 11:19PM

There must be a story following that car Kevin? Any pictures of it in its present condition, which I'm sure is excellent.

Great pics again Mac 3. Not just the fancy stuff in the foreground but also the 'regular' cars in the background that have mostly disappeared from Irish roads since.

+1 - and is that an R12 estate in the pic with Kevin Herrons Maserati? must be almost as rare these days

Saw this nice Beetle on original plates near the Aviva Stadium

And this tasty Mk1 GTI in the petrol station on the Rock Road. It sounded really nice but had the wrong wheels on it

I went with a friend in "IRL 1" along with others in their classics for a short parade.. for turning on the lights in Glasthule. A few photos from the evening..

Spotted this Lancia on a recent road trip down to the south, think it was in Cahir,

Was parked in a garage, looked it if was in regular use

And also this MG in for repair/service at my local garage

This TR6 is also still alive and well. I think it was the only Sienna Brown TR6 registered in Ireland.

Those MG's always look to me like the front grill has been kicked in. My old neighbour had one and for years I wondered why he didn't get a new grill for it until I realised they all look like that!

I actually dont have any decent photos of the car, ones that its not obscured by people standing beside it.

I have never given it much use as it isnt 30 years old until next year.

Driver has a problem judging distances? (understandable in a barge).

Mac 3 · 05-12-2012 11:57PM

Thanks for all the comments lads.

Mac 3 · 06-12-2012 12:02AM

Few more from some classic car dealers in London in 1994

Spotted in Cork City a few days ago...

delthedriver · 06-12-2012 10:02AM

Great photos.
Well done
Many thanks

@ Mac 3 - those dealer pics are like a scene from Gone in 60 Seconds! Amazing selection of cars in one place.

Thanks again.

Is that a dash cam or something better (speed incl. on pic ) ?

I think that Chevy step side used to be parked at the front of a house on Cypress Grove Rd. Templeogue. (when last I saw it a few years back.)

I posted a photo of one of them on this thread earlier this summer, here it is again. Have seen a couple more since then so there are certainly some still in use here in Sweden.

You're right, passed by there this evening and he has a Dodge Ram outside and an 84 Chevy p/u in the drive
