Saw a Fiat 128 (on Italian plates, I think) parked outside the Clarence Hotel in Sligo today.

Looked pretty clean but I hadn't my phone on me to get a pic. I'd say it will be there for the weekend if anyone is passing

EDIT: They don't place much value on the BMW's!

Must show the pic of the Isetta to the old man, he had one as his first car and he sold it for a pittance!

Slidey · 01-08-2010 11:22am

The Neal Egan run is on today so that Capri will more than likely be there along with many others.

Was a massive turn out last year and a scorcher of a day. Will head down the camera and take a few snaps today

Kasper, this was no museum - it is a car showrooms for a company who just happen to only sell "classics" and super-cars etc., hence the price quoted on each photo caption.

CianDon · 03-08-2010 8:06pm

Just a few snaps from the Roberts Cove Vintage Festival. This was the 3rd running of what is now an annual event and it has grown hugely. This year there was about 40cars and about 70 tractors. Only got a few snaps because the camera was on the blink.

Saw this Escort in Bantry on the weekend. Nice little car. With New South Welsh registration!!!

Not quite 'today', more like eight months ago, but here it is anyway: 1913 Cork-registered Model T Runabout in Abernethy's Midelton.

Max_Damage · 10-08-2010 8:01pm

Spotted these today...

Mercedes 280SE in Walkinstown (owned by the same guy who use to have the white Fiat 131 a few years ago):

Triumph Toledo beside my friend's garage just of the Walkinstown roundabout on the Greenhills Road:

'88 Toyota Starlet (same location):

'89 Peugeot 205 GTi (again, same location):

Do-more · 10-08-2010 9:49pm

I posted these earlier on the Motors HWIST thread but they are probably better here.

Don't know for sure but I think the Cobra is genuine, it was on German plates and the Bonneville had a Florida plate.

I'm living in Sweden now and there is a lot of old yank metal here which comes out in the summer months and a few Volvo Amazons of course! Will see if I can get a few more pics to post here.

Savage car but I doubt it's a real GT350 Hertz - would only travel to shows on a trailer if it was!

^ I'd say that truck is some sort of Dodge.

jrar · 12-08-2010 11:07pm

A couple of voitures sans permis (literally, cars without licence) which I understand derives from the time when such light and small vehicles didn't require the driver to be licenced etc. Nowadays, such vehicles carry registration plates and the driver does indeed require a normal driving licence to operate such a vehicle.

Examples here are the Microcar MC2 and the Chatenet CH26.........

They have the same system here in Sweden, although here they do not need registration plates. But as they are a slow moving vehicle they need a large reflective red triangle on the back. I'm not here that long so I don't know all the ins and outs yet but from what I understand they are limited to 30 or 45Km/h depending on the category. They can be driven from 15 years old on a tractor driving licence and so are referred to as "tractors" In addition to the French microcar it is possible to fit any car with a speed limiter as long as it is only a two seater so you get Volvo 740 estates which have been cut down like a pick up but the favorite choice is old Volvo pick ups which are rodded and a large stereo system appears to be compulsory!

They are the true personification of "all show and no go"

And then I stumbled across a small local show which was part of a bigger community fund raising event.

The old pre '73 number plates are not valid for road use and all pre '73 registered vehicles were issued with new plates in the current format during 1974. The only place you see the old format numbers is in a museum or at a show and the likes.

You can check the vehicle details of any Swedish plate at this site for free. (Google Chrome or Google toolbar will translate it for you)
