Finders Keepers

Hedge Fund
It’s not every day you come across a complete and functioning Bomford Avon hedge trimmer from the 1960s, but the one on these pages must be unique, as both it and the tractor it’s attached to have been in the same family ownership since 1964. |
Top of the Class
This 1982 BMW 525i is one of the earliest versions of the second generation Five-Series, codenamed the E28. However, not only that, it also stands out for its absolute originality, and has made an excellent fi rst classic for its owner. |
Quick Learner
Although it was hardly the fl ashiest or fastest thing on two wheels even in its day, the Quickly scooter was one of the motorcycling success stories of the fi fties and did much to cement NSU’s position at the top of the sales charts. Today they are highly collectable, as Thomas Cahill will attest. |
Bus Trip
A long-seated enthusiasm for air-cooled VWs saw Darren O’Beirne pick up this original Irish 1977 VW minibus fi ve years ago, and after a whole lot of work it’s now the classic family hauler he dreamed of. |
