The back definitely. I'm not 100% if the front had though

A gen 1 Prius is a good spot. Only seen one before. I think less than 20 were originally registered here

Wouldn't mind if I still had my one.
Loved driving that car.:)

First gen 01-KE Audi A2 in the Aldi carpark in Maynooth. Couldn't get the camera out in time.

Long time since I saw one in the flesh. Still a fresh looking motor.

Slightly ot but the mk2 Mondeo has all but vanished from Irish roads, I know the oldest is 19 years old and the youngest is 13 years but I thought it would have some more longevity the primera from the same era is completely gone too.

There is often a few Garda ones parked around Harcourt street. Funny you should mention them though, I was only behind an 02 silver one on Griffith Avenue today. Hadn’t seen one in ages before that

Mk3 mondeo isn't it? Even though 1 and 2 was more or less just a facelift

2.0 petrol were great.
2.0tddi a faithful lump too.
1.8 petrol and 2.0tdci not so much.

But ya they're gone very scarce especially compared to the avensis and accord of the time. The vectra would be more common a sight too.

They would be Mk3's id say.

I'd go with Mrk 3 also.

I see the odd one from time to time. I know a lad with an RS one and he keeps it wrapped in bubble wrap.




Even the Mrk 1 Focuses are getting scarce enough now. Compared to before. A neighbors 04 one seems to have died also.

I get the impression you are on about Focus's and not Mondeo's

Sorry I was half asleep when I wrote that the Mondeo that's wrapped in bubble rap is an ST.
I see very few Mondeo's around tough.

I do find the same with the mrk 1 focus seems to be disappearing near me also.

True but they were reliable and well suited to neglect and abuse. Something diesel saloon cars at the time saw a lot of.

The tdci injector problems caused major headaches for many.

Griffith Avenue, Milltown and Stephens Green all today. Just missing a Carina to complete the line up!

Not a car, but this 1991 registered Bonneville was too good to pass up!
Cavan town.


Aaaagh, it's a 191 reg...

Duke O Smiley

Old 93 626 in Phibsborough. Looks a bit down at the heel but no doubt still providing stellar service to someone. Have seen it every day this week

Nekarsulm

Was someone looking for a Mondeo?
Arva, Co. Cavan today.

shutup

Didn’t get a photo but saw a 22 D in Sandyford today!

I would say the road tax is the killer

Yeah, you're at the stage where the road tax is a multiple of the cars worth...
But replacing it for something the same size , only with lower tax will cost you £3000 ..

Gents, would any of you be interested in a 1 owner 00 Civic saloon? Only 70k on the clock and runs lovely, but sills are rotten and rear arches are poor too. Free if anyone would like it, otherwise it'll be scrapped. Based in Baldoyle
