Issue 136 (September 2017)

Description

The September 2017 issue of Irish Vintage Scene (Issue 136) is now on sale. Our cover feature this month tells the story of one enthusiast’s decades-long search for what is considered the rarest of the British-built Fords, a Consul Capri GT, a search that finally bore fruit recently with the stunning example you see here. What’s more, it’s been joined in the garage by an equally-lovely Consul Classic 315 saloon. We also compare two of the finest classic estates of the eighties to see which one’s best: the Volvo 245 and Mercedes S124. Our main tractor feature this month tells the story of a Co. Kerry-based club’s restoration of a MF135 to raffle for charity, while our second showcases a rare and beautifully-rebuilt SAME Tiger Six. Our motorcycle feature this month looks at a collection of classic mopeds from Rixe, Berini and Puch, while our commercial feature is on an amazing, one-of-a-kind Atkinson cement tanker, which converts to a camper at the touch of a button! Our event reports include the recent Irish Classic & Vintage Motor Show in Terenure, the Innishannon Steam Rally, VJMC Motorcycle Show and lots more, and all of the usual favourites are in there too, so don’t miss out – get your September 2017 issue of Irish Vintage Scene today at any good newsagent, or order here online!
