    From London last Saturday, had a few hours to spare before catching my flight. Unfortunately I messed up my camera setting and almost all pics look rubish, ISO16000 does that :(

    I believe this is a AC Bristol?

    It looked to be following the above Aston Martin

    Thanks. I tried googling but I didn't find anything other than a reference to a Ace Bristol.

    I thought it was an Aston Martin of some sorts, it looked like he was following the Volante who also did a u-turn

    It's an ace with a bristol engine, I'd say that's where the confusion is.

    Not everyone's idea of a classic, but they have their fans!
    In our local scrapyard this morning.
    They were incredibly basic inside..

    My parents had one just like it. Had to bend the pedals to the side cause it was too easy to press the brake and accelerator at the same time :P

    Rathmines today - Cartell didn't turn up anything from the reg. if anyone can identify it? :cool:

    Looks like a Bentley Continental S3 Flying spur saloon. Coachwork by James Young. If so it's rare, worth a pretty penny. Sweet as a nut


    Here's one for £150k if you want a butchers. Or it might be this very one as the ad says there were only 68 made, and I think that might include the (relatively) more popular 2 door coupes. With about 20 saloons

    Or it might be this very one

    That car is advertised as a '65. Cartell doesn't know much about the pictured car except that it has a 4887cc engine. Is that even correct? Didn't Bentley and Rolls-Royce have bigger engines by then?

    Anyway carsireland has the pictured car down as a '59. Is that even correct? The S3 didn't start until '62? Also the ad is current and the ZV plate on the pictured car has been around quite some time.

    So likely not this very one based on the above :)

    And wildly speculating here, but the owner doesn't look that old, maybe he is savvy to use it as a company car, using an appreciating asset and only paying BIK on the original purchase price which was probably only something like £5k?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,603 ✭✭✭✭elperello


    Lovely car.
    The Dublin one has an aerial on the o/s front wing and no wing mirrors so I don't think it's the same car.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,300 ✭✭✭Garzard


    Caught this on the cycle cam about 30mins ago in Templeogue.

    Oh they are classic !

    I bought one of them, new.

    In Sporting Yellow of course. With Abarth rear spoiler as well.

    Red seat belts added 5bhp. True Story :)

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    I was thinking that guy must be carting around bullion in the boot.

    That looks very low slung.

    ^ love the /8, I had a 230.6 in the same colour scheme albeit a left hooker as my first classic.
    Same as the one posted by Irish Player, it was the earlier 1st gen model. The later series (72-75 iirc) lost the fly windows and had the ribbed rear lights. Very comfortable cruiser, huuuuge boot, discs all-round.

    edit to add a few recent-ish spots..
    I spotted the Celica in Bray recently where its been parked up - quite a bit of surface rust but hopefully someone is going to restore this to its former glory.
    It's a 1600cc, I remember these when new, I thought they were one of the coolest cars ever!
    I'm sure the VW is well know in club circles - it looks factory fresh.
    I haven't seen the Porsche for a while, it was a regular sight around North Wickow
