    Meet your twin V. I'd love one of the turbo nutter ones from the past. :) Plus, and I know it's a cliche, but I know four people who are alive and well today because of those Volvo estate's build quality and safety. Big fan of the oul Ovlovs :)

    I had a 240dl estate I think briefly when living abroad. Loved it, Nearly every car since has been estate. It was diesel and had an overdrive button. Could that be correct? Probably a early 90's model

    Seen a 00 Renault Megane Classic today. Always brings back memorys as we had one in the family in the 90's. Raging I did not have my phone with me to take a picture of it. Seen a 03 Peugoet 307 yesterday and the green Cotroen again was going to take a picture but then the owner turned up. Raging. Seen more old cars around lately so will get a picture at some stage.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Ok strictly speaking not on the road as such, but this stopped outside my job earlier. A mk2 escort shell and 3 door Cossie shell on a trailer.

    I didn't know what I saw today.
    99KZC, the search brings up: Triumph 1500 Dolomite HL, 1977. Not an everyday spot!

    Seems like someone took it away from East Cork
    They also have a Buick in the yard. Must be healthy man who wants to restore it. Better for parts

    Probably for parts, but you never know... plenty of work required to restore.
    Would there be any demand for parts for a Buick like that ?

    Jesus would have loved to pic that up for spare parts. Do you have contact details for where it was
    its an oldsmobile cutlass supreme

    Corolla is a weird one as here in Ireland they switched to to the new E10 in summer of that year.

    That's a really late E92 in JDM spec given the time lag to get the new E10 to the dealers from the factory in Japan.

    Fairly sure the later E11 model was out in JDM spec while we were still on last of E10.....

    Have i missed anything obvious. :(

    Came across this outside a colleague's apartment block while dropping them home today. Immaculate car and couldn't help parking alongside just to admire it for a few moments before driving off. Apart from the slight mud splatters it looked as if it came right off the assembly line.

    That looks like the special brother of a T2 or someone tried to inflate a T2!

    Truly a beautiful piece of motoring history. There’s a chap in my town with an Integrale EVO which I lust after on every possible occasion. I came very close to buying a White Martini edition Delta a few years back but there was a few problems with the car and I passed thinking I would find another but sadly I didn’t. I’d imagine that car would be worth a few quid now :(

    BTW. It wasn’t one of the ultra rare Martini 5 models. This was a Delta Turbo with Martini stripes and special interior.
