All cars are expensive in Brazil, doesn't matter what they are.

I found one of them sitting in a housing estate recently too, looking very sad for itself.

Was it a silver one in South Dublin?

It's a 1.6 petrol GL (or possibly a rare 1.6 GLD) - looks like it could/should be saved.

I think a friend of mine enquired unsuccessfully about it a while back, I can check it when I get a chance.

Somebody was asking me via PM about the location of those two golfs so you are not the only ones who are interested in them.

The black three door - Nobody lives in that house apparently for years

and the other golf - There are signs that somebody might live there or at least somebody is visiting the house from time to time.

If some of you are seriously interested I can leave a note with a message/phone nr. in the letterbox, because I live in the area so it's no hassle for me.

B2AUDI80 · 27-12-2013 12:19AM

this has been laying for years now close to home , wont sell it

and not a car , but an old taarup silage cutter laying in one of the sheds belonging to the house i live in

pulled this out of its resting place a while back , ex BT , 1984 land rover, pulled it out for scrap

Saabturbonut · 10-01-2014 09:13PM

DarenO · 10-01-2014 09:19PM

There's a 900 lying in Newcastle, Dublin, RZG plate

Facebook finds from Monasterevin, great photos

John Larkin · 12-01-2014 04:31PM

I think that these cars are a 1936 Packard 120, and two 1947 Packard Clippers. Any connection with a guy in Kilcock who used to hoard Packards?

Capri · 12-01-2014 08:00PM

That 1936 Packard 120 could have been from my uncle's barn in Kilbarrack

Are they in the old Samuel Holmes engineering building?

Nearly cried there, esp the last one that appears to be in the open.

French spec XJ6 - '2.8 LITRE' and amber reversing lights mark the French spec (along with yellow headlight bulbs of that era as well )

Not quite deserted more forgtten about !!
Neither of these have been on the road for over 35 years. The B type is fairly rough but the C Type is remarkably sound.

They must have been fairly young when parked up? C type from 1975 -1980 I think?

Yes. You are correct. Spoke with the owner there who located the tax book. It C Type was first registered in October 1974 and was on the road up to 1984. The B Type was "retired" in 1977.

There is also a 2 door D Type Kadett in the same garage. Its a 1983 model on it's original local reg.

Interesting to see the 3 successive Kadett models under the one roof.

Today I saw an abandoned classic and took a pic thread!
