Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    I was scanning a few negatives last week and saw this very distinctive Cork reg on a car. This was probably taken back in the early 1980s but it still shows on Cartell. Wonder if it is still around?

    That's a December 1955 registration reissued in the late 70s, and typically it's done in Cork.
    Dunno why it was so popular in Cork to do this.

    1AIF was a yellow KP60 bug eye Starlet. One of the very first registered in the country. And presumably fell apart with rust though it seems to have lasted until at least 1993.

    That Kadett, going by the style of front grille, and the Starlet would have been registered around the same year (1978) It's funny how it wasn't a bother to do this considering the similarity of the registrations at that time.

    Just as a matter of interest, did you need to own the original logbook to do that?
    I recall a family in Sligo back in then 60's always had EI 333. Invariably a Sunbeam Vogue/Humber Sceptre, but apparently they had that reg. from new.
