Based on the oil on the ground, it's been there a while!

That could be just 5 minutes worth knowing those things!

Prefer the saloon myself but that looks a great example

Man, that Carina looks mint. Although the exhaust looks like one of the rubber hangers is gone, or something. Or maybe it's the angle of the tailpipe that makes it look that way.

Interesting too the size comparisons between older and modern cars. The Yaris, a little runaround is nearly towering over the Carina, a family car!

I’d love a Mk1 cabriolet. Came close to getting one on a few different occasions but never did for one reason or another. That looks a lovely example. Right weather for one too

.. and it’s a GTI as well ..

I think I've got the hang of posting images now rather than links; hopefully it works..
saw these in Greystones over the weekend.
The Escort comes up as a 1.3 on cartell, but from the sound it made I suspect there's something beefier under the hood.
Not sure what the 'unknown' is - some sort of Daimler?

welder

Your 'Unknown' is a late '50's MG Magnette ZB.

also spotted this beauty - I thought it was a Maserati Khamsin but turns out its a Bitter, gorgeous looking piece of 70's exotica.
Bonus 500 Abarth in one of the pics too








edit - just getting the hang of posting images, so apologies if the pics are too big

I think that Bitter was at Terenure last year - or maybe there is two red ones in this country

I may be wrong but I taught the one at terranure was more wine.

Gorgeous car, surely must be the only one in the country?

Didn't notice that, but it was hard to escape the glorious Tesla

Oh and without looking anything up, wasn't the Bitter an Opel Monza 6 cylinder 3l pretty much underneath? One of my favourite cars in the 70s and early 80s

Exactly

That rear glass while a thing of beauty in itself would give me nightmares
