I remember going into town with my grandfather in his one, when I was about 6 or 7! Lovely example and a great memory!

All I can tell you is it's near Duncannon in Co.Wexford. I came across it while heading to hook head light house. I have more photos here, I'll check and see if I got the phone number.

And I spotted this '87 Renault 4 LHD in Stillorgan:

Bedford Chevanne spotted in Letterkenny.

This is my van. The lack of no. plates was due to it being in the process of being rebuilt after respray.
Very rare now and was told there are only 5 on the roads in England, but funnily I was offered another one today but is still in a shed in England

hi

I am sorry she did sell, and a large deposit has been taken on nearly full asking price.

The lastest stage of her rebuild is on classiccar, and due to be completed early next year.

The project has slowed down for the moment.

Cheers

It'll be worth waiting for, judging by the work up to this point.

Looks too new to an Auto Union.

Looks sort of like a Capri, but it isn't. If only I could make out the reg., I could look it up on Cartell.

Max_Damage · 23-07-2009 11:41pm

I made out the reg.:

Registration ZV22248
Make SKODA
Model S110R
Description 02DR
Fuel Type PETROL

Looks it too come to think of it!:

I took a few photos in Normandy recently:

tc20 · 28-07-2009 9:43am

^ wow those DS cabrios (decapotable sp?) are gorgeous! I've never seen one in the flesh, but the lines are simply perfect. One of the most beautiful convertibles ever imo

Anan1 · 28-07-2009 10:33am

I think that's a conversion? AFAIK, the original Chapron cars are two door.

I'm not sure exactly which model it was.
Only saw it from above.

Anan1 · 28-07-2009 3:06pm

I think it's an integrale Evo.

Whatcar · 28-07-2009 5:14pm

I was at the GP and took a few pics of the local transport most cars there are modern now in the city.

junkyard · 28-07-2009 5:44pm

What's the Suzuki Swift and the Opel Astra doing in the middle of those photos? Classic cars? I think not.:pac:

carchaeologist · 28-07-2009 6:08pm

Friend of mine bought this over he weekend,its covered in Mighty Boosh stickers,had it something to do with the show?Or was it an avid fan that owned it i wonder:p

zilog_jones · 28-07-2009 10:49pm

Whatcar, the second last car in your last post is a Daewoo Tico, a licensed clone of the 3rd gen Suzuki Alto (1988-1994) that was sold in neither form here - we were getting rebadged Marutis sold as Altos by the late '80s, and Daewoo probably made no RHD versions of their car. The example pictured was probably built in Romania.

Your photo titled "Polski.jpg" is a VAZ-2108 aka Lada Samara

Saw one of those a few weeks back, with Irish plates and all (92-D)! It was the first one I seen here since the late 90's!
