Issue 221 (November 2024)

Description

Taking the cover of the November 2024 edition of Irish Vintage Scene is a Triumph Stag that was registered new in 1977 to the Dunnes Stores company in Dublin – taken on by its current owner as a rolling project in the early 2000s, it’s been refreshed twice since then and is still providing plenty of smiles per mile. Our second feature car is another well-known British classic, an Austin A40 Farina that’s been evoking childhood memories for its owner for the last thirty years.

This month’s featured tractor has to be one of the best-looking Massey Ferguson 135s we’ve seen in a while – still in its original family from new, it was restored in the last year fully at home, with no professionals called upon. Our motorcycle feature delves into the history of the Yamaha YL-1 twin, one of the finest 100cc two-strokes of the sixties, while our commercial feature showcases an absolutely stunning 1963 VW split-screen bus that not only was restored from an abandoned wreck, but also packed with modern and innovative running gear. Lots of the usual favourites are in there too, so don’t miss out!
