    Indeed it does! It says two seats, is that the same as saying two persons I wonder? I have a double passenger seat which I fit on occasions, presumably it would fail the CVRT if I presented it with this fitted and probably is illegal.

    Local OAP-piloted Mazda 323, terrible quality pic but this is a mint example and worth documenting.

    And a '123 estate on Capel street. I counted 7 dogs in this when I passed on foot!

    Saw a gold coloured 1984 Merc SEL (I think!) 500 yesterday. Was stopped at the lights coming off the M50 at Tallaght. I was next to it in my mini so lots of shared appreciation!

    Snapped in Dublin the week before Christmas. Body kit didn't look stock to me, but I still thought it looked tastefully done.

    ^Re the red Renault 5.

    I always thought the second Renault 5 was one of the best restyling jobs done relative to the first model. I thought they managed to really update the styling very well.

    Tbh they dont look right colour coded. Still it was more to do with toyota ireland rather than toyota themselves with regards to the spec. The xli plus is still only an xli but with a few nice bits added. The equivalent newer shape was even more spartan (bar an extra airbag) until 1999 unless you went for the luna model which was available in liftback only afaik
