In the land of the blind the one eyed Clio is king:D

That Jags been there on the Hackestown road along time,although the last time I saw it it looked complete.

Yeah 2.8's were injected - e.g. in the Capri 2.8 injection
I don't know much about Ford V6's either (excpet that I think they are just boat anchors ) but I think the 2.8 has siamesed exhaust ports for 2 cylinders each side and the 2.9 doesn't - or maybe that's the other way around..

......yep its the other way around ! The 2.9 has siamesed ports. AFAIK the Mk 3 Ghia "X" model was never sold here. The hatchback Mk4 were really only sold here as 2.0GL, 2.0i Ghia, 2.8i Ghia and then 2.9i Ghia.The 2.9i was MY87

you're forgetting the 2.4i v6 and there's no mk4 granada i'm afraid, only mk3, mk3 facelift model then the scorpio (as in frog eyes scorpio no the granadas badged as "granada scorpio" and sometimes just scorpio, like one that
i have here).

Anyway aside from that, zender bumper extension on the french golf?

Found this today in Co. Limerick
Any ideas on age/make/model?

jimmyw · 31-05-2011 1:00am

As far I know its a polish built car called an FSO 125p.Its based on the old fiat 125 I believe under licence made between 67 and 91.

mb1725 · 31-05-2011 1:03am

Also known as Polski Fiat 125. Late 1970's maybe? This is what it should look like.

Oh boy always trying to upstage someone:D.No seriously your right, Polski fiat during the agreement and FSO 125p after.

G Luxel · 01-06-2011 8:41pm

afaik they FSO were imported by the O'shea group in the 1970s and then were imported again from 1986 to about 1990....

Big Nasty · 01-06-2011 8:53pm

Wasn't Turkey turning out 131 type models up until recently enough also?

kyote00 · 01-06-2011 10:05pm

bucket of dirt by the looks of things.....:D

jimmyw · 01-06-2011 11:40pm

They probably were not much in any better condition when they were on the road:P:).I dont know there is a good indicator/side light cover on her, and a bit of elbow grease and t-cut would bring the colour up a treat:cool:;)

Polish FSO for sure ... 125p or something ... most of them seemed to appear here in the mid to late 1980's. A Fiat with any potentially interesting design cues disgarded
