    There's 2 of them painted in the galway colours and flags out the Galway road, across from Lidl. Look well.

    I just saw a white Mk1 post-87 Irish reg Fiat Ducato panel van on the Malahide road about 30 minutes ago. As well as these earlier today

    I think I saw this get on the Motorway around junction 13 Mitchelstown a few weeks ago. It looked like a farther and son driving it!

    That's owned by a previous teacher of mine and its still driven regularly. He has had it from new (or close to) I think. It got a bit of light restoration work done in last 5 years or so.

    Its a 15 or 17. The 17 was the higher spec one, I think there is a way to tell the two apart but I don't know it.

    Hints of the Datsun Sunny, 120Y I thought, when I saw it first. Especially the wheel trims.

    It is indeed a father and son. The car has a genuine 14k miles from new. I was in it before they bought it

    A blue W126, a Mk2 Golf Atlantic (with L plates) and a late model original Saab 900 in impromptu convoy on the Malahide road about 20 minutes ago at UCI. I was travelling the other way so couldn't get a pic, couldn't make the stuff up though!

    Not the oldest, but interesting (to me) all the same. a Volvo Bertone 2 door. Bernieres-sur-Mer, Calvados, France.

    87c40029 red Corolla GL on the motorway in Mitchelstown today. Those 5 door GL were a terrible looking yoke imo but this thing was spotless.
    Black Mark 1or 2 Golf GTI further up the road on old plates. Thing of beauty and 2 young fellas happy as Larry inside in it.
    Obviously coming from some rally somewhere.

    Any chance people could embed pics instead of expecting readers to click multiple attachments across multiple threads?

    Thanks! :)
