Nice moody shot as usual jozi.

jozi · 20-10-2019 5:50pm

Thanks, it was shot through the car window which surprisingly isn't noticeable :cool:

Spotted Friday in Drumcondra

Now you are talking !!! and it's the one with the "Big Bumper's" too. And not only that, but has the chrome's on the front and back wing's,,, only thing missing is the chrome "Shade's" on the headlamp's. Has to be one of the best car's ever built.:D

sligojoek · 20-10-2019 7:12pm

That's like something Edward Hopper would paint

Kenmare, outside Fermoy and M7:

I'd need to double check, but I'm sure that Sierra was bought new buy the same guy that is still using it as his, only, and daily car.

SmartinMartin · 23-10-2019 12:14pm

Driver was in his 60s, white hair bald on top, white/grey short beard and tache. Think he was wearing glasses.

Sounds like the man alright. He's looked after it well.

Last change of ownership on that Sierra was in September 97, though it could well have been the driver's company car or something along those lines, before he bought it for himself.

Could very well be the case.

Or I could just be plain wrong.

How did you check about the change of ownership, Duke?

Ultra rare beast on the M7 an hour ago, an Audi/ Auto Union 1000s. Gorgeous.

I know where there is one that was stripped, ready to be painted, and left in the rain. A shame.

Saw it on the phone yesterday and thought it was a Morris Minor.

Outside Finnegan's in Annacotty, they have all sorts of vintage auto décor both inside and out now.

Ballsbridge tonight - also the Rolls in the background which I posted a couple months ago I think.

What's the story with the tape on the headlights? Left hand drive lights, or just holes in them?

Edit. Just copped. She's a left hooker.

kaizersoze · 29-10-2019 11:30pm

Just noticed the taped headlights. Thought it was on holiday in France but it's a left hooker.:D

Ahh no. Pablo wins the prize.

So, it's a MK 3.5? Thought only the 90's Fiesta held that.

She's a pretty rough girl. Are they going for the patina look, or just don't give a fcuk? Like, how does it fair out with the NCT?

sligojoek · 30-10-2019 2:39am

Ya, she's a leftie alright. Wipers and discholders point that way too.

I'd seen the car earlier in the day and wasn't able to get a pic. I saw it later in this car park took these.

@ Jabba

I tried zooming in but the phone camera was set to low res. I can just make out the ins. disc to be 11/15. Don't think NCT was a priority. Looks like it was pulled out of a shed that morning.

Duke O Smiley · 30-10-2019 8:29am

That Escort is NCT’d for two years (30 years old so gets a 2 year test)

I think the insurance cert is folded a bit on the end, making it look like “11/15” but it looks to me like it says “11/19”

Great to see something as mundane as it is, and curiously LHD, in regular use! Good spot Joe!

That's my DKW 1000S, it's clocked a lot kms this year.

You were motoring along all right! Stunning car, it's a credit to you.

Any info on it?.

JabbaTheHut · 31-10-2019 1:38pm

I can call into the guy and ask about it. He'd sell it I reckon. I do know the yard was cleaned up recently, and it got moved about, so hopefully everything is there.

I'd appreciate that, let me know how you get on.

Sorry folks, deleted my last post as I meant it for the Classic Irish Bargains thread but somehow posted it here

:D

SmartinMartin · 01-11-2019 11:09am

Lovely car, but I just can't bring myself to "like" that because of those awful plates.

elperello · 01-11-2019 7:21pm

A nice LHD Beetle in the happy hunting ground of a Lidl carpark. Muskerry Vintage Club sticker on screen.

Speaking of plates, I went to see an '89 Mercedes 190 today that a friend of a friend has for sale and he had just VRT'd it and put it on ZV plates. I asked why he did that and his answer was so he didnt have to NCT it !!

I'm convinced that they are making better idiots every year!

I think it would be disingenuous of me to claim those points.
