A couple from today

Capri · 14-07-2014 8:05pm

3.0 Capri ? Can't see if there's another tailpipe on the right

Had both, plenty of V6 Capris, and the Sunny just kept going and going - finally emigrated to Nigeria :cool:

Never really took notice of the tailpipes on the Capri. I'm always a bit cautious when taking photos of cars in gardens. But it is indeed a 3.0 :cool:

The Sunny is cool bus alright :cool: I had a few myself.

Capri · 14-07-2014 11:38pm

Thought so, the wheels were the 3.0 Ghia alloys

I'm sure some of our Dublin-based members on here will know this one on Clonliffe road. Oh I'd love to knock in....:o

Cleveland Hot Pocket · 20-07-2014 8:49pm

Yup that's been sitting there for 10 years at this stage, I used to live on clonliffe road back in 2005or 2006, it was there then - gathering dust

I'd love to know the story with it. Seeing original Irish stuff like this makes my day.

2 classics imho including the V70 T5:cool:

Capri · 22-07-2014 1:13am

The V70 looks like it's just got a fresh coat of paint - or one hell of a waxing :cool:

Those 'bull bars' on the 2CV were an option AFIR

If I had the money and an understanding wife if love to chase one down for a spot in my driveway. I had a 98 C70 T5 GT a number of years ago and I loved the feel and look of the interior

This evening in Rathnew petrol station - Range Rover classic and yellow Caterham V8

As owners were talking /cars building up behind me and them :mad: I couldn't get a shot but the Caterham had a little Rover badge on the grille and 2-3 pairs of small headlights.

That Healy is presumabily 59 LS 1 , but it could also pass for 59 LSI

The Caddy was giving it welly out of Ashford

Both cars have Kilkenny regs. :P I have never seen a renault 9 with headlight washers, must be the top of the range model. Nice era of Renaults then and before.

Capri · 23-07-2014 12:31am

For VW fans, 3 x T25's and 2 Beetles (Note the 'size' of the Golf beside the Beetle :eek: )

I've passed that van millions of times over the years but it never seems to move from there, yet it seems in good nick.

BTW, theres an Irish reg Peugeot 309, Morris Minor and Jag MK2 close by on Griffith avenue :cool:

Capri · 23-07-2014 1:16am

The R4 is particularily clean

Friend of mine went in to enquire about it - didn't get a good reception :mad:

Cannot understand people who cannot be civil about people calling to enquire about something that's on public display - if he doesn't want enquiries then put it in the garage or put a big 'F*CK OFF' note in the window :mad:

V70R, a rare beast over here. Looks in some condition!!

Dades · 23-07-2014 11:44am

Saw this driving around Dublin 2/8 yesterday. Re the other thread... not sure it would walk through an NCT!

kyote00 · 23-07-2014 11:46am

Didnt have the iPhone close to hand but I spotted two MB W116's, two MB W126's and a DB5 in Dublin today.

The Big Red Fella · 25-07-2014 10:46am

Love the Renault 4 !!!

Capri · 26-07-2014 7:01am

Today's pics

The Mini and Defender span a few decades so they could be clean 60's as easily as 00's. The Defender was a V8 :cool: (driven by a blond Aussie I'd say as she turned left on the red light :eek: - legal in Oz AFIK :rolleyes: )

The Barchetta is a rare sight,nice styling

The SL reminded me of the pre-emissions days, much as I like V8's the smell off the exhaust was STRONG

Capri · 26-07-2014 7:20am

Mini

roadsmart · 26-07-2014 11:29am

Hmmmm. My definition of "classic" is very different from other's.

mb1725 · 26-07-2014 11:42am

She on the left not a bit too old for a skateboard ?
