VW in Fairview, Transit at the Westbury and Starlet in Marino. I don't usually photo cars in gardens but this was too good to pass up, and I don't think the photo gives too much away in terms of location etc. Lovely little 1 owner two door EP80 outside a nice old house and tidy garden...a little gem I'd say

I like that Transit, rare enough now.

Duke O Smiley

Would you believe there is another one going around Dublin, only its short roof'd, in the very same colour! Similarly clean too

Ex dyno rod vans maybe?

Duke O Smiley

I was trying to figure out if it was a factory colour (unlikely!), old company colours or just a pure coincidence that two lads decided to paint their Transits bright orange..

Kilgarvan. Really clean :

Nekarsulm

rural Passat battling on, in Arva in Co.Cavan.

Apologies for the poor photos, this took me by surprise!

One of the priests cars in the Oblate church in Inchicore. What a gem

On a campsite in doolin. Never saw one before and I'm not 21 . Also a stiletto and an imp on the site. Will try and get more pics later. So cool to see.

Looks a derivative of a Hillman Imp to me

Was the estate version the Husky, or was that the van?
They were known to be the only small family car that you could wear a Top Hat in!

An Anglia 🤓

Havent seen one of these knocking around in a bit. Looked straight enough if a bit unloved rusted steel wheels and green algae on body work.

It's a Hillman Husky, an Imp derivative. The Van was the Commer Imp Van. They did not share a bodyshell as such, although they are obviously related. The Imp Van was badged Hillman towards the end of the run.

Recent spots : Golf, MX3, Lancer & the partially visible Cortina in Tuam
The Merc & the Prelude in Galway & the Corolla in Athlone

BonnieSituation

That's a well-loved and well-worn Lancer.

SmartinMartin

Some more. The subaru is too young by a year for my normal postings, but it's lovely and clean :

Duke O Smiley

I'm sure you can attest to this yourself Martin when I say that north Dublin - particularly Whitehall, Marino, Drumcondra and Glasnevin - is still full of these yokes. Pass through any of these areas tomorrow and you're bound to see one or two, be they on the road or sat up in a garden but even still I never get tired of seeing them.

Its funny how you can relate certain cars to certain parts of the country/county.
