now at a much more reasonable price. I'd be interested myself at the new price if I was looking for a retro cruiser.

In cork sunday, one of many!


Pretty plain but beautiful nonetheless! 1975, and a bit of rust on the drivers door.

Also spotted a moris minor, traveller, some Model t type, and a couple others between cork city and red strand.

More info to be found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_KR200

i can remember my dad had one of these in the mid 60s but the roof lifted to the right side,even though the i was young at the time it was still a tight fit in the back seat.i can remember it snowed and was very cold one morning and he went out and put the electric heater under the engine to get it warmed to start it.
would be a nice car to have now.
that looks like a tiger i think they were called ?

Spotted these today:

'85 VW Polo in Dun Laoghaire:





Also spotted an 'SI' reg Toyota Starlet in Blackrock and a Japanese Import '87 Daihatsu Charade in Dun Laoghaire aswell.

Always thought those Polos were like a small Hearse...

kasper

it would be handy for a leprechaun funeral ,and like the polo i havent seen one in ages

How about this for a prehistoric classic...

I've always wondered how Barney was able to steer that thing. It's not like he can lean into the corner.

That car has TiNI everything.

Stalked this on Saturday in Stillorgan:



Was loads of classics about that day - was there a show on?

That Merc 600 is epic.

Dades

It was cruising in the bus lanes on a Saturday. I guess the guy figured with a car like that he can drive wherever the fcuk he wants!

Test drive, or new owner? Or present owner keeping her greased up?

Either way jackpot material.

I see there is 10k in the difference of the asking price in the ad and the description in the ad

The car was up at €79,995 for a long time, I assume he just never bothered to update the text. Of, for that matter, to learn how to spell 'Maybach'.:)

Well you wouldn't use 'Maybach' that much in every day language but you would come acrosss 'Or' and 'Of' fairly regularly and should know the difference!

The only thing that spoils it for me is the colour.

The 600 was powered by a 6.3 litre V8 250BHP M100 engine with single overhead camshaft specially developed to move the vechicle

Must be one heavy car... :P

Have to say I love the colour. Not keen on the red interior though.

Doubt it was a test drive Saturday. Only one chap in the car I could see. He also looked at ease with one elbow out the window at some point. Can't see a test driver being so relaxed behind the wheel of that precious bus.

Hi All
Seen this for sale down the road from me......... looks great and it's in pretty good nick

spotted on the dublin this week.

Saw a group of Hillmans up on Fanad Head in Donegal today. Unfortunately no pics. There was an orange one on the run that was a real head turner.

It's a Lancia Flaminia Coupé Pininfarina. The interior was spotless but not perfect which is nice to see. Some of these restored classics, you'd be afraid to sneeze near!

What an incredibly elegant car.

Saw a ZV registered Ferrari Daytona (I assume in's genuine with a ZV reg but you'd never know) followed by an MGB roadster this morning just outside Milltown (in Kerry). I'm quite surprised by the exocitica that crops up here in this non-car friendly country from time to time.

A gorgrous car! My dream garage consists of a 600 pullmann long wheel base. In black. With Liv Tyler driving me around in it when we're not busy

Spotted this very clean Westmeath reg. (BLI) Fiesta Mk1 earlier this morning in Mullingar town. I've seen it there a few times before, but this is the first time I got a photo of it.

kasper

yeah i see it a lot and it is in brilliant nick , but fair play to ya for getting the photo

Very nice '57 Oldsmobile 88 spotted yesterday.

That looks remarkably similar to the Peugeot 404.

Another case of Pininfarina selling the same design to two companies, perhaps?

A bit like the Peugeot 404 vs Austin Cambridge?

I'm really hoping to see this car around Dublin.
Always loved Flaminias!

You should see the house repairs that guy does for a living!!!!:eek: He used to have a Sunbeam Alpine too years ago, I think more Isopon than metal iirc....

1948Wolseley

I remember seeing that MG around Youghal too, although it's looking a bit the worse for wear than when I last saw it (probably around 2005, I used to spend a lot of time in Youghal when my grandparents lived there but they died in '02 and '04 and I haven't been down much since). It is indeed used as a daily driver by a local handyman, known to everyone in the town as 'Roofs', his real name may well be lost to history!
