    This car is too good for parts (also has the original Irish reg). It will be restored.

    A good friend snapped this abandoned Golf on a farm he was working on a few months back. Its a van. I like the period roof bar attachment!

    Saw an old Saab (70 something reg I think) just abandoned on the side of a slip road in Limerick. Exact location below. I wasn't driving so couldn't stop to have a look. The front licence plate was bent and there seemed to be some minor damage under the plate. Stolen and abandoned after it broke down?

    Right here:

    From talking to them, its just abandoned as its broken. The replacement is next door.

    Here is one that will test the knowledge of anyone into their classics

    Care to have a guess (its from the mid to late 50s maybe early 60s)

    I think I know where this car is. I have seen it myself as I was able to see it from the roadside. It's a 190 or a 220. The main vehicle lies in an overgrown field and is literally canabalised! (Half a shell). Parts of the car are scattered. I know someone who is looking for a rear bumper off this car but I don't know who owns the property.

    The badge says 325 but the engine is 1.8. The chassis is rotten.

    I wouldn't say something like this before actually seeing that car. Leather interior, and if it has the twin cam engine it defo wouldn't be for 200 euro. Also the tyres are brand new (for some reason).

    What's up with the fake UK registration plates?

    Are they supposed to enhance the look
