Surely the reg is what gets blanked out. Regs can be looked up online, but faces can't.

To me looking at the Moggy better known down the country as a Gallopin Magot looks very original.The letters ZV is an original Dublin reg and i would say thats its pretty original.Certainly she has been restored.

This one?It was a triumph,not sure of the model though.They were what i call Dickie seats in the back,the flap folds up.The kids were in there when he came in.

Argesean · 30-08-2009 11:01pm

Thank u. That explains the arrangement in the back -although I would have to see the flap open to understand the purpose of the windows-except for the fact that it looks good...

I thought that yoke was a Volkswagen, although it comes up as a Porsche on Cartell.

Brand new Skoka sports to buy in Czech Rep. Very Cheap, essentially all original parts with modern electrics and safety bits. not replicas.

Lauder · 31-08-2009 12:05am

Saw these two Mercs outside a well known premises at Annesley Bridge in Dublin. I was sitting in a coach in traffic and couldn't get a good shot of the dark blue pick up conversion in the foreground. reminded me of a recent post from someone considering chopping a 6 series BMW. (Sacreligious!!)

.........that Pagoda is always left outside there, he uses it himself.He has tidyed it up again, last time I saw it it was very rough indeed.

That outher car, the one badges as a 280SE 3.5 would be a very pricey car IF it was real but its a 220SE and painted in a modern Mercedes colour, Chalcedony Blue, which ruins it IMO. A restored 3.5 Cab would run in excess of €70k, whilst a 220SE would be half that in similar condition.

.......now that IS a lovely car, I havent seen it in about 2 years.It was owned by a good friend of mine & Club member and it was a really tight low mileage car, under 50k on it. Nice period colour, unnusual, horizon blue, and largely original !

It was in superb condition, been driven by a young (under 30) lady. She looked well in it.

Colour looked like a sea green, but it may have been different. Lovely car.

Very tidy Rover P4 spotted yesterday.

bbam · 01-09-2009 6:59pm

Was on holidays in France recently...

Saw this nice Manta, every day driver

Was in small museum and they had lots of nice restorations but a few real clangers..

These particularly caught my eye and the Opel GT was a cracker..

I have a few more but the upload speed is shockingly slow at the moment... :mad:

A few from the past week...

I don't like this - a Bristol on North Wall...

An Opel Kadett on the N4...

A Cortina at the breakers yard near Airside...

It may have been a Bristol 412 like this one...
