German Gem
Allgaier tractors are rare, even more so than their Porsche-badged cousins, but to come across an original Irish one that’s been in the same family for sixty years is unique. Here’s the story of the Shanahans’ AP22. |
‘02 Degrees of Separation
The small but perfectly-formed BMW ’02 managed to win the hearts and minds of many motorists in Ireland when it was new, but its appeal today as a classic is even stronger. We brought together some of the best examples on the island to help mark the 50th anniversary of the original ‘sports saloon’. |
Syd’s Suzukis
The mid seventies saw the pinnacle of two-stroke development for motorcycles, and of the big four, Suzuki clung to the format longer than all the others. Richard ‘Syd’ McCoy is a big fan, with a T500 and GT550 at his disposal. |
Bedford Memories
It might be a 56-year design, but this Bedford TK is kept ‘on the button’ by its owner and is always ready to take in a show, road run or just a sunny Sunday spin, and never fails to perform. |
You could be forgiven for assuming that the title of this story refers to this stunning Mercedes-Benz 190SL, but in fact it more accurately describes the legendary Irishman that sat aloft it upon his triumphant return from the Melbourne Olympics in 1956
