    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
