Interesting that the e10 seems to have been registered before the e11.

It would be more interesting if it was the other way around I would have thought? I have seem plenty of 97 Avensis and a couple of 98 Carina's in my day.

Clapped out old Punto in SuperValu Knocklyon this evening. :cool:

By pure coincidence, was browsing through adverts just there and this Punto is up for sale! (for parts) Someone save it!

Unfortunately it was picked up by a scrapyard on the weekend just after I put it up here.

We sold the owner a car, and told them we'd try and find a home for the Civic - which they were happy enough with - but again I got back onto them the following Monday it was gone.

A pity really, but it would have needed a good bit of time and money poured into anyway.

Duke O Smiley · 22-09-2020 10:52pm

Very tidy little K11 in Drumcondra, and MR2 in Howth. Pre facelift Micras are gone very scarce now, so was delighted to see this one still going.

recent sightings around north Wicklow/south Dublin.

These Mercedes are beginning to thin out a bit.

Nekarsulm · 27-09-2020 11:06pm

Spotted in Ballybay, Co. Monaghan today.
Very very clean, and fairly rare I would think.

Yeah, it's rare.
Only 3 left on the road in the UK.

gammygils · 28-09-2020 2:24am

Claremorris Co. Mayo. I didn't get a good shot of the Golf, a left hooker

davidglanza · 28-09-2020 9:35pm

Love the levin...
Looking to buy one

Duke O Smiley · 29-09-2020 8:39pm

Funny looking Range Rover...

Who said Renaults were unreliable and fall apart?

This one proudly says it has ABS....fancy!!

Garzard · 03-10-2020 2:22pm

Not that old, but these Audis still look impressive IMO. Porterstown, Blanch.

sligojoek · 04-10-2020 1:06am

i was down in Nayna for a few days. There's 90s Toyotas everywhere. Lovely consul from the 60s I got a few pics and will upload when I get back to the laptop.

Nekarsulm · 04-10-2020 10:34am

This is a UK Facebook page about cars spotted in drive ways, carparks, etc. That may be rotting away but there are some interesting finds on it.

Duke O Smiley · 04-10-2020 7:34pm

A few from all over the place (Dublin) over the last week

Nekarsulm · 04-10-2020 9:57pm

Can't remember the last time I saw a Saab 9000...

gammygils · 05-10-2020 1:58am

Tuam, Co. Galway a really neat 97 Polo and a 99 BMW

Duke O Smiley · 05-10-2020 2:02am

Jaysus, a 6n polo with an unblemished rear valance! That’s a rare sight

Nekarsulm · 05-10-2020 12:55pm

Rather a nice Capri in Cavan town today. Not tarted up at all, just looks original.

WE love nothing more than Toyotas in Nayna.

Isn't that 440 Turdo for sale in Deanes right now?

I had a 2.3 one years ago, it was 1992 reg. Loved it, electric everything, heated leather seats.

Seen this beauty at IKEA yesterday was absolutely spotless

Unusual in that it's a recent enough import. Looks very original and clean.

gammygils · 10-10-2020 2:28am

In Tuam today a 1979 Mercedes. Immaculate and with Galway ZM plates

BonnieSituation · 10-10-2020 11:32am

That is gorgeous. Credit to the owner.

BonnieSituation · 10-10-2020 5:07pm

I say it all the time, but the Jetta is the most Cavan car there is.

Door open and all to boot.

Saw this in the local super valu car park 😳🤔

It is a clean example, and I can't recall the last time I saw another. I haven't seen this particular one for a while - here it is in Oct '18 -

Had the pleasure of parking beside that beauty on a classic run in Cork last July

I can't seem to link directly to the pictures so here's a link to the album for anyone who's interested!
