The blue one looks like an Abarth 750 Zagato Monza I think, a really nice car. Worth well over €100K, closer to €250K, depending on its history.

No idea what the red one is.

Where did you see them?

Red one is a Toyota sport 800

Nice GT40 !

I'm currently in a small town in Tanzania in the regional hospital (Mentorship for a month). I expected to see loads of old metal, Toyota mainly. To be honest, I haven't seen anything pre '85, one pre '90 Carina and the rest are modern metal. I'm disappointed for the classic spotting and happy that my pre-concieved notion about the wealth of the people is broken. The roads here would kill any car though except old Toyotas.

Sorry about the quality, it was really cold. Monasterevin service station, Kildare co.

I saw a really smart Opel Omega yesterday in Gorey. I haven't seen one in ages and always had a graw for one but you just cant find good ones anymore.

I always liked the Opel Omega too....actually most Opel's from the 80's tbh (I grew up near an Opel dealership...currently have a Manta


I recently visited the Angelsey Motor Museum in Wales (not too far from Holyhead) and they have 3(!) x Lotus Carltons (aka Omega's) on display.

LHD Column shift. Would love to have a tear off it. The lad told me there was something wrong with it but not sure what exactly, he had a 304 cabrio as well but it was under a layer of plastic.

Bit of an ould chancer so. Though would be tempting for 250 (havn't seen under the bonnet or the subframe though)

outside motor factors in Ballyphehane, Cork

The irony outside a motor factors. Uncle bought a new one back in the 70's. Said it was nothing but hardship. Still look great though.

^^^ I wonder what's the name of that motor factors

...and do they sell red number plates (like the one on the door, i.e. 'STORES)?

I think you are right on the plates, but they really know their old (and new) stuff. They are old school and relying on experience and knowledge, rather than a computer. They also carry the normal service stuff for old Ford's on the shelf (like I got two flexible brake pipes there before, they were on the shelf and not old stock!).

If I'm looking for anything, they are my first port of call.
