Look at it compared to the beige Renault Fluence

Family saloons with years between them.

Diabhalta · 05-08-2014 3:51pm

Just now (Cork city centre)

Capri · 05-08-2014 7:08pm

That Rover looks just right...

And he didn't mess with the reg either, it coulda been Z V8 8856, but he's better not attracting a ticket for that :mad:

Todays shots - missed a (future classic Merc ) SLS 60 DC was the reg. , and a nice pairing on the N11 , W123 coupe being passed by W124 coupe :cool: and an 88 Carina

Saw a matte black Rover P4 earlier today. Rivets on parts of the body, looked proper "rat look" and really cool :cool:

Yeah, seriously cool yoke indeed. A bit of searching online reveals it's had a roof chop and everything :cool:

Just to keep the 'pests' off your case - so will pull you for anything :mad:

Capri · 07-08-2014 6:43am

Lot of LR's out yesterday, missed a 141 Defender shot to complete the pack.White one is 82D LHD. RR is another one for my 'Dream Garage' along with that P6 from the w/end :cool:
R4 is ex-Garda I think.

Often wondered about the old velosolex etc. or the more modern version in your pic.
Is "road tax" and insurance required if used on public roads ?

Dades · 07-08-2014 1:00pm

Saw a lovely spitty this morning in Stillorgan.

Yes its a mechanically propelled vehicle ..... unless it falls into an exempt section.

The 'get-out' clause might be in the pedals, it's only a 'part-time mechanically propelled VEH-HEE-KILL '

I hope to make the bicycle engine and motorized bicycle popular in Ireland and also make the legal requirements (tax/insurance/licence) much more transparent so that we can all enjoy our motorized bicycles in peace

first registerd in this country after 91 so it should

tc20 · 08-08-2014 4:51pm

spotted these in Deansgrange yesterday while putting Mrs tc20s Micra through the NCT. The Bluebird is an 89 Turbo SR, which was in for the test.
The Merc & AC were just in the same industrial estate

tc20 · 08-08-2014 4:56pm

and a couple of spots from recent holidays in Gran Canaria.
There seems to be very few daily classics on the road over there compared to previous years.
Two that escaped the camera were a Merc W114 saloon, and a gorgeous Puegeot 404.
Still quite a few Merc W124 & S124 plying their trade as taxis, but most of the cabs now are either S210s or Toyotas

The Passat (is this a B3 ?) are getting thin on the ground over here too, I always liked them as a solid old workhorse of a thing, even if they weren't the VW designers finest moment (I always thought the front end styling was dour)

The Revenue Commissioners text that I read recently spoke of black-on-white plates for "vehicles first registered" in 87-91 and Europlates for "vehicles first registered" from '92-on, but does not use the phrase "first registered in Ireland/the state", so it seems that (thank god) the date of original registration defines the type of plate to be used after registration in Irl - after all, if the phrase used was "first registered in Ireland", that would mean that a 1920's car imported in the 70's could use an old-style plate, but an identical car imported in 2014 could not...

winnie the schtink · 08-08-2014 11:36pm

just saw that now ,it has been revised to pre 93

Looks like you had a nice day out. Nice fire engine lurking in the background, looks a bit like a 1966 Dennis I had once. Just a chassis/cab, no fire bodywork left on it. 17000 miles on it.
