Maybe! I put over €20,000 in parts and body work into my Multivan Syncro over and above its purchase price.

Madness!

The owner brought her to town for a few pints. She doesn't drink much.

What parts did you struggle to get? We are nearing the end of a restoration of a 1988 syncro van and haven't had any difficulty getting parts.
Any links to photos of your van? I would've loved a Multivan.

tc20

..the Audis, and the Merc were used daily (they were just around the corner from where we were staying) - all on Belgian plates

Love the Audis!

My old Audi 80 was a cracking car. They just disappeared over a few years.

Coolock and Clarehall

The Volvo was imported in 1974 and still going strong.

weekend sightings in Greystones..
I missed capturing a yellow 911 Targa on ZV plates, and a '64 Merc SL.
The Zephyr is a local car, often seen out & about at the weekend, the Merc is a daily driver.

My brother has imported this , a 1989 Corolla 2 SRi.

A few pictures after the boat grime was washed off. Cool looking yoke, a pure slice of the 80's, pop up lights and all.

He is not sure if he will keep it or sell it -Cool car though IMO.

⅔ of a classic car maybe. I think insurance & NCT may be a difficulty...

Here are a few pics that I took at a car show on Sunday in a small village in SW France. The village was "en fete" and the local car club put on an exhibition. I took a lot of photos. There was a lot of interesting cars there as well as the ordinary 70's and 80's fare.

Sure you could just tap that out with a little hammer.
