    1976 Honda Civic. Was parked across the street from us earlier. Vehicle check thingy shows it's only had 2 owners.

    I have pictures of that Civic on my phone. I'd say it was just imported as the paperwork was all in the car. Spotted it in Glendalough last week.

    Pajor is based in the Netherlands? It has a Dutch reg?
    Pajor, did you see this here or there?

    I had been wondering if they meant another car.. :pac:

    It's a Dutch reg alright. It has the older style blue plates that 'oldtimers' are allowed to have, instead of the regulation yellow ones. Rules on reg plates are very strict here. No German style lettering for the Golf. :p

    I'd say the VIP reg is a big reason to keep the Minor? Van on the road.
    Is that a 1.1 Fiesta? I only had a 903cc :(

    To those of us who had the 903cc, the 1100 to all intents and purposes was a Capri.:D

    When I was about 14, the father bought a Fiesta 1300S. I thought it was a real race car!

    There is a blue HLI reg one around the locale alright...though it lives in old Coolock. With elderly owners, its a great sight.

    You must have entered the reg wrong. It's coming up as a Fiesta for me.

    I thought you would like the bmw when I saw it. It looked and sounded great. Very classy too, even after all these years

    And yeah I'm a bit upset on the Tipo front. Renewal on the insurance is just a bit mad though. I'm still considering keeping it in the shed for a while and try for a classic policy down the line

    Its surely old enough for classic now?

    Im in a delema myself over changing the car i have a fondness of beemers i owned a few when was younger but i didnt think i actually liked 05 onwards models of the 3 and 5 series but i went to look at a 10 honda accord today and there sitting beside it was an 11 320d and i must say it looked stunning in white and both were same price now im confused haha.

    That's a rare spot. Looks great in black with the red trim and pretty much unmolested too. Nice spot dude!

    The Matchbox model I had as a kid was my very favourite, so I was pretty pleased to see one too!

    With the split rear side windows I think they're better looking than the original three door Cossie.
