That Volvo is a rare beauty.
Same model used by The Saint.
Ya. A lovely motor. I saw, I think, the same car on the move a few weeks ago but wasn't fast enough to get a pic. I was third in the queue to talk to the owner do didn't keep him too long. There was a wild smell of petrol off it as he drove away. Reminded me of my old biking days when a rake of bikes had a warm up before taking off.
On another note, I'm hoping to get a look at a 70 D Mercedes tomorrow. I saw it parked outside a neighbour's house for the last few days. Don't know if he owns it or has visitors. Looks something like this.

A "70 D" could not have been the car in the pic, as the above car is a Mercedes W111 "Fintail" which ended production in 1968. They were followed by the W108 series S-class (280S/280SE/280SEL) and the W109 (300SEL) and it would have looked like the pic below. Note European spec cars had cowled headlights, the US cars had "Stacked headlights" (but like with anything Mercedes in thoses days, you could have your European car delivered with non-cowled stacked headlights :-) )...

Tricky one, difficult to see from a distance. I first thought it was the replica, but I am not sure anymore, could be the real one... rear windows seems to be the giveway, the slots on the side air intake are the giveawys but they are difficult to see in the pic...
and here is the real deal:

There's an extra classic in that lot!Dun Laoghaire, Blackrock & Greystones over the weekend.
I'd seen the Beetle earlier in the day elsewhere in Wicklow, it's on original Irish plates.
Not sure if the Ferrari is a 348, or a 355.
Behind the Ferrari there's a gold 944 parked in the driveway - it's been there for years.

Talking about Mercedes, these two cars were the absolute highlight on a recent classic car show which I helped organising here locally in Holland a couple of weeks ago. Although the silver one was almost concours, I preferred the absolutely genuinely authentic, unmolested, unrestored, original and 'rough around the edges' green 300SL

It was hard to get a decent pic as it was getting dark and there was a very bright sensor light on the house. Plus it was pinned in by the wall and another car. I'll go up some other day and have a chat with him.
Yeah, I was totally wrong with the pic I posted earlier.
