Was down in Dun Laoghaire today and was admiring this 1800 when smoke suddenly started billowing from the bonnet. :eek:



Luckily the fire was put out very quickly by harbour staff



You can just about make out the damage to the bonnet here


Poor guy never got on the ferry in the end

Here's where it ended up....

Sounds like it was in poor condition even before the fire.

Anyone like to tell me what year this Golf is.

I think 'ZS' was the last reg series in Dublin which would make it late 1986 (but I'm open to correction).

I think so too. Or did SI follow ZS? Either way, i'm pretty sure it's 1986.

You are right,ZS was last,that golf was registered around july 86.
Ialways thought it strange AZS*** to YZS*** were issued before ZS****.

............yeah its deffo an early Mustang, from the first series, 65-66.

Lovely car !

PaulK_CCI

the chrome crossbar in the grill (which you can just make out) makes this a 65 Convertible...
The little V badge on the wing, tells you it would have had a 289 engine. but you'd have to look under the bonnet to check what engine is in it now, as they would rarely have the original unit

Checking the 'letter' in the VIN code will tell you with what engine it left the factory...
An 'A' in the vincode = 289 4 barrel
An 'S' in the vincode = 390 4 barrel
A 'K' in the vincode = 289 High Performance engine!!!
and so on

Allow me to improve that image.

MercMad

I think those two were part of a large collection of Mk1's that were stored in a field just off the Naas road. I was there once and heard the owner recently wanted to sell off a few.

On Sunday we the TCOC had our AGM at the Silver Tassie. Before the AGM started we took a spin up to Powerscourt to take a few photos.

Just you may like to see some.

1984 Granada spotted in Donabate, Co Dublin this afternoon.

(Would I be correct in thinking, with the add-on fog light, that it was imported into the UK originally?)



.....and a 1976 Beamer spotted in Swords, Co Dublin.

What is the Daytona based on?

junkyard

How dare you Kevin, it's a real Ferrari!! Seriously it's a southern roadcraft srv12 same as the one in the early Miami Vice. A seriously well sorted kit car in fairness and sounds the part too.

Kevin_Herron

Haha!
Anybody that knows their Ferrari could tell at a glance it wasnt real!

Very good, I'm told they make a very high quality kit.
Best of luck with it Junkyard. Hope to see it out.

junkyard

It looks good enough for an amatuer like me although the TR7 windsrceen is a dead giveaway isn't it.;)
