VEL SADNESS

Nekarsulm · 24-09-2015 6:34am

The front is OK, lifted up with a Senneboggan so the roof and doors etc ruined. Unmarked alloys and new looking tyres. Felix Gormley's yard if anyone interested.

I'm just back from a few weeks motoring in France and I saw so many of those, even a few Avantime's ....

Is that a Victor 101 or VX4/90 peeping out from under the tarp beside the Berlingo?

VX/90 tail lights.

Lovely car. I wonder what condition it's in.

Odyssey 2005 · 21-11-2015 11:14am

Sad end for a lot of nice motors

. And in Kerry ta boot...:)

Cork city (318i)

Diabhalta · 25-11-2015 10:51pm

This car is too good for parts (also has the original Irish reg). It will be restored.

Testacalda · 26-11-2015 2:12pm

A good friend snapped this abandoned Golf on a farm he was working on a few months back. Its a van. I like the period roof bar attachment!

Saw an old Saab (70 something reg I think) just abandoned on the side of a slip road in Limerick. Exact location below. I wasn't driving so couldn't stop to have a look. The front licence plate was bent and there seemed to be some minor damage under the plate. Stolen and abandoned after it broke down?

Right here:

Spotted behind a workshop in Iringa, Tanzania

From talking to them, its just abandoned as its broken. The replacement is next door.

Testacalda · 02-12-2015 1:05pm

Here is one that will test the knowledge of anyone into their classics

Care to have a guess (its from the mid to late 50s maybe early 60s)

I think I know where this car is. I have seen it myself as I was able to see it from the roadside. It's a 190 or a 220. The main vehicle lies in an overgrown field and is literally canabalised! (Half a shell). Parts of the car are scattered. I know someone who is looking for a rear bumper off this car but I don't know who owns the property.

neris · 06-01-2016 1:01pm

Ford Granda estate. Been in that same place since 2009 and probably along time before that

duno if this counts but its pretty much abandoned at this stage

The badge says 325 but the engine is 1.8. The chassis is rotten.

I wouldn't say something like this before actually seeing that car. Leather interior, and if it has the twin cam engine it defo wouldn't be for 200 euro. Also the tyres are brand new (for some reason).

What's up with the fake UK registration plates?

Are they supposed to enhance the look

I don't have exact answer to that question. Some people think UK is "cooler" than Ireland maybe? It's like german plates on VW/Audi sh*tmobiles.

I dont understand it either. I also think some drivers living near the border with N.I. may think they can somehow 'hide' their RoI registrations if they use yellow rear plates when driving in N.I. :rolleyes:

I spotted that Piontiac fiero there too, doesn't look in bad shape.

That's because the body is from fiberglass. Hard to say what's the condition of the engine etc.

Duke O Smiley wrote: »

Yeah, all he can do is to ring the doorbell. Those cars are not roadworthy apparently so I'm not sure how much they would get for cars that would be declared off the road after put on Irish plates. VRT on worthless cars? Zero zero nothing. Waste of time.

Diabhalta · 14-02-2016 8:57pm

Few minutes after I took those pictures I saw in town a new Range Rover on ZV plates (2002-2012 model, don't know the exact type). Obviously can't be vintage, it wasn't even the previous model but a new car.

It looks to be in better shape than the house....

Spotted a 1975 Mk3 Cortina (facelifted version) estate on Sunday. It was a very shabby white colour. Looked like an XL model as it had a higher level of trim to the downrange models. It has a 75-XX-1234 reg, so it was an import. It just flew by so I couldn't get a photo. Anyway I was driving ...

Today I saw an abandoned classic and took a pic thread!
