SmartinMartin · 06-03-2017 10:32pm

Anyway, a few from Dublin the last couple of days;

Chadwicks, industrial park of our locality... Black Volvo Amazon with a ZU reg, have you seen it before?

I'll see about getting a pic later if it's still there!

Greystones this morning - didn't realise the pic is so shoddy, apologies..:o

Nekarsulm · 09-03-2017 2:48pm

Two from Cavan town on Sunday. Met a very nice 1980's Toyota estate, with alloys etc. No photo however.

fancy pigeon · 09-03-2017 3:06pm

On a stroll in the sunshine...

jayo26 · 09-03-2017 7:55pm

The neighbour is after upgrading his car

He has an 84 escort covered over in the drive and a 78 Accord in the garage.

Will try get a few better pics.

SmartinMartin · 11-03-2017 6:36pm

More from Kerry. Another year and she'll be in the classics thread;

I'm sure I have some photos of this car somewhere. If its the one I think it is. I think there might be 20-odd k on the clock

In fairness, it's spotless, but 7 grand:eek:

tc20 · 14-03-2017 11:26am

'89 VW Syncro in Greystones at the weekend.
Perhaps one the VW heads on here can tell me if this is a T2, T3, T4??

Duke O Smiley · 14-03-2017 11:41am

Thats a T3, nice spot

Duke O Smiley · 15-03-2017 5:41pm

Coolock just now, tidy.

colm_mcm · 15-03-2017 7:37pm

There's none of these left. They were everywhere 15 years ago.

selous · 16-03-2017 11:11pm

Not the oldest car, but maybe the oldest car...magazine, with the free stickers,

Issue 1 of Max Power, 1993, all the adds in the back pages are addresses and phone numbers, no email on any of them.

I rented a house to a Polish couple who drove a Cinquencento over.
There literally wasn't room for a cigarette paper in the car. Everything they owned was packed in around them.
Fair play to them.

colm_mcm · 18-03-2017 5:47pm

Few from yesterday in Ennis

inna981 · 18-03-2017 7:23pm

Soft spot for older Pugs :cool:

Edit: the 106 was in perfect condition

tc20 · 21-03-2017 11:51am

I've seen this Audi knocking around Wicklow town/Ashford for the last couple of years (not sure if it's an 80 or 90 model) and it's always looked well. It has yellow tinted headlights, but now it appears to be lowered a tad too much for my liking, nor would i be a fan of the stretched tyres look, but each to their own and all that. (although it might just be on as a spare in this case)
These seem to be much rarer on the roads now than the equivalent E30 or MB190s, perhaps they didn't sell in such numbers as the other compact German execs of the day.

SmartinMartin · 21-03-2017 10:01pm

Its an A4 I think.

Audi 80, predecessor to the A4.

SmartinMartin · 22-03-2017 9:26pm

On closer inspection I withdraw my ridiculous observation. Feck it, I even owned one of those:rolleyes::D

beertons · 22-03-2017 9:34pm

I'm almost certain my uncle owned that about 20 years ago, if not it is a very very close reg to it I must show him the pic and see!

tc20 · 27-03-2017 11:10am

@ Cheensbo - cool if it was your uncles car. It was in Greystones yesterday, not a regular car in the estate, first time I'd seen it.

Duke O Smiley · 27-03-2017 2:25pm

Funny - I missed a burgundy 91 Kadett two door in Fairview on Friday. I've had my eyes peeled all weekend for it

jayo26 · 28-03-2017 7:44pm

really nice carina 2 I'm not sure on the wheels but the condition is spotless

same with the Merc 250 it's lovely condition but them wheels.... Both owned by same owner and both lovely cars.

pablo128 · 28-03-2017 10:37pm

Good spot there Jayo. I had that Carinas younger brother, an 01 Avensis in exactly the same colour with white Speedlines. There can't be too many of them still around all the same.

I would love the see both cars with period wheels for them because otherwise they look soo untouched and look lovely.

Surreptitious · 29-03-2017 12:46am

The '85 looks great. I am genuinely waiting for someone to spot me some day and put my wheels up on this.

An imported BMW.
I spotted the coolest looking merc jeep today, all black finish and black interior, had to have been 20 or more years old, foreign reg in mint condition. It was savage but couldn't take a picture as the owner was there and I would have looked stalker like. It had really old skool headlamps. I wouldn't know the model but a bit of googling might solve that.

Something like this: (obviously older)

Duke O Smiley · 29-03-2017 5:51pm

My parents 900 S, which has just been taken out of storage. Its done 200 miles in the last decade, so its due a bit of recommissioning. Bar the (new!) paint chip on the front bumper its a very clean and very original example of a 900. They have a 16v Mk3 Golf for a bit of fun, this is just a bit more reserved. It turned 20 in January too. Spitfire spotted today too and posted in the classic section.

It was probably the g wagon it's been around for 30 years and only small upgrades on the exterior still a lovely looking jeep. They did one on wheeler dealers a few years back updated the front end to a newer version it was nice.

What's the oldest car you saw on the road today?
