    Saw this in Toronto today. Now its not a classic but I couldn't help but see an uncanny resemblance to a CIE 60s Leyland Leopard E Class. I really did rub my eyes. This bus appears to by very modern.

    Bit like it alright http://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/40/86/2408628_00ed9320.jpg more likely a passenger version of a schoolbus made by Bluebird who seem to make all the schoolbuses for the US/Canada

    THAT'S what all the dealers should be doing ;) Respect for those that bought in the past, while maybe having a new yoke tucked away nearby in case they want to buy in the future :rolleyes:

    I don't think i've ever seen a convertible model of that Manta before, was it an official version, or one done by Crayford or the likes?

    great line up!
    My father used to have a Kadett in the same yellow, until i rolled it two days before my test :o

    It's a great thing to see a fairly big lineup of Opels.

    x-post from over on the Motors forum. Some pics today from Terenure... some classics, some "youngtimers".

    Mercedes C124's (and an A124) - Three of these were in the car park! Some nice stuff outside the show area. There was one C124 in the Mercedes Club stand but it was a bit OTT for my taste. The stand had quite a few W124's and a lot of W123's though.

    Really? I was there most of the day and only saw three W124's on the stand! :D There was a fabulous W123 300 diesel there with less than 60k on the clock

    From recollection, at least 2/3 saloons, an estate and the aforementioned coupe (not pictured). :confused:

    Yeah, seemed like a nice chap. I liked the paint and wheels. But the chrome and accessories all over weren't my thing.
