Spotted this in Longford this morning, and followed him to get a picture. Originally a horrible shade of brown, the owner told me.

I met him in Athlone yesterday at the side of the road, rummaging around. Turns out, he got the gearshifter welded recently and that snapped off. But he had a replacement in the car

Anyhow ...

A few highlights from the Limerick Classic and VW Show today.


I wonder, what he brought to the show, since this is his towing vehicle.

And I've never seen as many T3's, nevermind VW vans at one show in Ireland. Sure .. at a festival, but never at a show.

And this wasn't even all of them, that were present.

That's me sitting in the '37 F7 DKW, pissed off from the rain.

It could have been worse though. At least the day was semi clear and not a complete wash out.

Not quite today, but from an SD card I accidentally came across today with a photo of a beautiful RA28 Celica from the Baltinglass classic show in 2011.



Loads of pics of mainly Japanese classics on my Instagram from the past year or so. - http://instagram.com/jayomoto

Two more from Kenmare today.

No picture, but yesterday met a guy in a W123 Estate. Bronze colour with wood grain side stickers, like some American Rambler estate. MIX 600, I think. Cavan area.

Doubt if it was a factory job though! ;-)

The Red Ace

59 CE 20 is a Renault Floride, belongs to a friend of mine. Started its working life in Sth. Africa then the UK and finally to Irl where it changed hands a few times before being restored by its current owner. It has a Dauphine engine fitted as the original one was scrap having sucked in so much red sand from the desert

Kaiser D

There was a nice show on in Bray, only a small few cars; 20-ish. As I was leaving I was passed by a few more going in though. Some lovely cars there all the same.

The Big Red Fella

Any pics?

I was wondering where I got the Caravelle from

The Renault Caravelle was produced by Renault between 1958 and 1968. Outside of North America and Britain it was, until 1962,marketed under the nameplate Renault Floride.

The jags outside Carlow town have been there years, probably beyond economical restoration now. (Aren't they all?)
