Saw this 1984 Ford Granada today in Roscommon.
It was in good nick too by the looks of it. Cool car.

I know of the lad that owns that, imported not awful long back.

Hard to find a good car of that vintage originating here in Ireland.

Another Charade (I swear I don't have a fetish for these things)

Spotted in Granard, Co. Longford, bad dashcam pic due to filthy windscreen.

Followed it from Portlaoise and past the Curragh racecourse. He wasn't hanging about, but it sounded class!

Anyway - tonight. Sorry for the rubbish photos. The flash on my phone is very weak. Caldina 2.0d - one for Cheensbo!

Nice MK2 Capri in Birr today. Looks daily driven.

In Thurles saw this very nice Celica!

And two oldies in rural North Tipp.
Love those Vauxhalls..

I don't know where you're getting that from. Motorcheck.ie says an '82 Silver Shadow.

That reg is from Dublin 1967-1969, the silver shadow was built from 1965-1980, the model in the pikky is a silver spirt.

Either someone made a huge blunder in the registrations office and put a 1960s reg on a motor that was the wrong model

Or

Someone took a reg off a 1960s Irish silver shadow and put it on a newly imported 1980s silver spirit

I dunno. My aul lad had a Fiat 131 654RZO and that was very early 80's. Either way the registration comes up as an 82 so I can't see where the problem is.

Edit: If the reg was the other way round, i.e. letters before the numbers, then it would be 60s alright but with the numbers before the letters its early 80s.
