Nice car Junkyard !

Do you know where it is now ??

Mine didn't have power steering, its an early one, but I have it half retro fitted now. Still need to overhaul the box itself, the rest is already on the car !

The list goes on and on and on.......................

junkyard · 01-12-2005 10:37am

It was a nice car alright MecMad, I sold it to a man in Limerick who had a large collection of classic cars and I think he still has it. As with all classic cars they always need something to be done, and then something else etc., its a neverending story but its a great hobby.:)

Hi All
A few pictures of my Triumph Stag and Dolomite Sprint. Both rebuilt to a very high standard.

okistag · 06-12-2005 6:50pm

hi, sorry all my photos of the stag are too large to upload for some reason.

ds20prefecture · 06-12-2005 7:17pm

Lovely Sprint - one of the few British cars that would tempt me.

okistag · 06-12-2005 7:19pm

Thanks Ds, She Is A Super Car. In All Respects Performance Handling Etc. Alot of time and money has been put into her.

Lyre61 · 06-12-2005 11:52pm

DS is right, beutiful car. super condition. you should be very proud of her.

MercMad · 07-12-2005 10:07am

Yes bot those Triumphs are fantastic.............well worth the job !

Who did the bodywork/paintwork ?

A guy out in North County Dublin has a yellow one, looks clean, drives her hard too ! I pass him every morning going the other way !

magpie · 07-12-2005 10:17am

DS, do you park that baby on Bath Avenue occasionally, or is there another shiny black DS doing the rounds?

That might have been me !!! Driving along the M50 ? I use it a few days per week going from Clonsilla to Leopardstown and back - it's still on English plates, so should be easily identifiable until I get it re-reg'd (next week).

Stevo11 · 07-12-2005 10:39am

"drives her hard too ! "

"might" be you? LOL Of course its you!

There's a couple, I think. Not me anyway except for one or two evenings in my favourite pub Slatteries. It's just not the same with Becks NA, though

magpie · 07-12-2005 12:32pm

my favourite pub Slatteries

You and me both. Between that and the car, you're clearly a gentleman of some taste and discernment.

okistag · 07-12-2005 7:28pm

would love to know of any other sprints around only 4 or 5 in club!!
franksm didnt know you had a sprint? i met you at mounttown the other day, i run the valet business there and own the white Stag OKI557 White Dolomite Sprint and TR7 Conv sometimes parked on the road. I am looking at selling the TR7 at the minute. Have my eye on a TR7V8 in the UK.
Cheers for now

Oh, when MercMad-lad said "yellow" I thought he was on about a yellow Stag, not a yellow Sprint. It's just the Stag that I have.

I have seen that TR7 ! Was asking about it here the other day.

Dude, are you any good at putting windscreens in and out ;-) I need it doing, have never done it myself - there's another helpful thread going on here on the topic but... now's not really the weather to learn about it

There's a guy in the blessington car club with a pristine yellow Sprint -

Check out the rest at that meeting

dubtom · 08-12-2005 12:02am

I was looking at some stags in a mag latly, their not cheap, the average seemed to be around 10 grand sterling for a tidy one, or were the ones I saw above the average price.

hi, yes i have had my windscreen out twice, easy to take out with a sharp knife cut the outer part of the rubber then gently press outwards.
to fit washing liquid string. the hard part is the chrome!!!!!!!!!
let me know when you need to do it, i will gladly help.

I was over in the UK last month and was shocked at the price of Stags they have really come up in value. the other shock was most around 8 - 10 k sterling, still needed tidying a few bubbles here and there or filler and nice paint job MADE IF YOU ASK ME.
a few really nice cars not needing cent put into them they were asking 12-14k plus.
While thinking about it knowing what it cost me to get my Stag to its standard it would be cheaper for me to have bought a mint one for 14k and saved myself thousands, but where would the fun be in that.
ANYHOW THATS MY PENNY'S WORTH

Gerry · 08-12-2005 11:50pm

Heres me 900S lpt aero. I'll be keeping it for long time, have spent a packet on it

Green-blood, that was a nice one you had, I remember seeing it for sale. If you get another, pm me, we are trying to get an owners club off the ground.

junkyard · 09-12-2005 12:34am

I have a Carlson one of those sitting on my car lot at the moment, its belonging to a friend of mine who would be interested in joining your club. He's driving another Carlson Saab 900 turbo. Another friend of mine has about seven of eight of them and I'll tell him too.

Gerry · 09-12-2005 2:02am

nice one!

8~) · 09-12-2005 1:56pm

My brother has a '90 900, I sold to him a while back. He might be interested if a club gets going. Post details here.

Jason_G_KE30 · 09-12-2005 2:46pm

Here's a photo or two of my humble corolla, as seen on one or two different occasions. Lovely motors all

She'll be getting a spin at the weekend!!:D

junkyard · 09-12-2005 2:51pm

Nice Corolla there Jason, my father had one in 1977 like the blue 2 dr one in your photo same colour but it war 4 dr and had a different grille.

Jason_G_KE30 · 09-12-2005 3:00pm

Thanks Junkyard!! The red one is an Irish assembled model, and the blue one below is just one I came across on the net, based in Holland. It has the same colour and type as one I'm hoping to get stuck into in the new year, and it's a slightly more presentable one!! What type of grille did your Father's car have? I only thought the two above were the only ones about at that time?

junkyard · 09-12-2005 3:06pm

It had a series of verticle slots with a C badge in the middle, it was one of the first in Ireland at the time. It was streets ahead of anything else in its class at the time. Great little car.

MercMad · 09-12-2005 4:06pm

The red one is an Irish assembled model.

...........where were these assembled .........anyone know ?

LOVELY CAR, I REMEMBER THEM WELL AS MY BROTHER WORKED FOR A TOYOTA MAIN DEALER IN NEW STR BACK IN THE 70'S. I REMEMBER HIM COMING HOME WITH THEM AS COMPANY CARS. NICE TO SEE THEM AGAIN.

okistag · 09-12-2005 11:12pm

Hi all

here is a link to a few pixs of my cars Stag, Dolomite Sprint and TR7, If anyone is interested.

G Luxel · 10-12-2005 12:54am

That corolla featured is the Mark 3 version,introduced in 74. There was another grille but never available here, had a huge grille, only for japanese market with the wing mirrors. Recently I was in Crete and spotted a few of these cars, but with chrome bumpers with overriders and chrome light surrounds on the rear lights. By the way the C badge is still used today , its the emblem for the corolla only used in Japan and it is actually the outline of the root of the Corolla flower.

dubtom · 07-01-2006 1:30am

Ah yes the Victor, is that the model I remember the Guards used.Someone in an earlier post said they used a car called a VX (i think)but that looks like it to me.

FatTony2000 · 09-01-2006 6:02pm

Just found this thread well impressed.

ds20prefecture · 09-01-2006 7:20pm

Pretty pretty pretty. The 2 tone suits the Karmann well. What's it like to run?

FatTony2000 · 09-01-2006 8:19pm

It runs well but there is aways something to do with any spare time. Trying to improve on the vw heating at the mo. It just will not clear the windows on a damp day. Apart from that its cool.
Saw a nice one for sale today
