Left hand chair. Sidecars should always be on the inside of the rider. Its a pita riding a sidecar rig with the passenger nearest oncoming traffic.

^^^^ indeed.

Unusual to see a chair attached on that side given the registration country.

they are rare alright. That particular one isn't a show queen by any means, but I do see it out & about now & then. Re the reg, it looks like an American type plate, how else would/could it be mounted; standard irish plate flush on the front panel?

Not everyone's classic - but I haven't seen one of these in the wild for years. Used to be everywhere.

I know one that's been sitting idle for the last year. The owner is going to Australia soon. I'd say it'll be going fairly cheap.

Yeah Pat, the Irish ones were usually on the bumper, like the Variant and Fastback. I recall seeing German 411s with the long plate mounted on the top side of the bumper.
But that colour coordinated ZV one.................:(

^ great recent spots there lads.
Each to their own and all that, but jeez, those AMG wheels on the W108 just don't go. The 250SE in the previous pic from WA looks the business.

Does anybody know anything about a Cortina run going through Sligo today.?

I was coming out the N16 Manorhamilton Rd between 10.45 and 11. Tthere were about 30 of them lined up by the side of the road and and an unmarked squad car behind them. Mark-1s up to pre-Sierra, Estates, V6s saloons etc. I was late for something and hadn't time to stop and get a few pics.

A few I found on the phone from the last few months
