    Škoda Forman. Not sure if this counts as they are still daily drivers these days, but becoming quite rare... just before Barrandov bridge in Prague. Blacksmith's workhorse. Plus the lic. plate is rare too, these were replaced in early 2000s with new 1A1 1A2 xxxx etc. (A is and always was Prague) pattern, but if the car wasn't scrapped (=lic. plate gone forever) or the owner still has the car the lic. plate stays. Which means this guy owns it for at least 15 years. If he would sell it, the car would get something like 9A8 xxxx or something like that.

    Now something a bit different ... couple of Volvos 780 (designed by Bertone). T6R volvo garage on the outskirts of Prague. You won't see so many of these in one place anywhere in Europe (well... at least according to the owner :D). Around 8000 built.

    Imported from Holland, can be yours for 5 grand (still needs some work)

    Škoda 1202 STW (=Station Wagon) Ambulance - on display as part of the commemorative event on Wenceslas square in Prague. 40 years ago Russian forces came to Czechoslovakia and brought "peace"... that's what they called it.

    No pic unfortunately, but also a red Tatra 603... unusual colour because most of them were black. Probably all of them, not sure...

    I don't think its the good Lady Brabazon at the wheel, but I've seen it around the locale for a number of years, same lady driving each time.

    Highlighting the person driving a car may not be a good idea for safety reasons imho

    Fair point, but in this particular case, I can confirm that the (extremely nice) lady at the wheel has nothing to do with Kilruddery House - I know her and her husband from the Mercedes Benz Club.

    No photos but there was a Ford Escort run on this morning and passed my front door. There were the odd Focus ST and XR2 in the mix. There were plenty of RS2000s and loads of Mexico replicas. Judging by the sounds, plenty were breathing through twin 40's. Kinda annoyed I didn't know about it as my Escort was in the shed.
