Description

March 2008, Issue 22

–       PIECES OF EIGHT: This Morris 8 van is thought to be one of only fifteen or so survivors worldwide, and the only surviving Irish-built example. It has been restored to a stunning standard from very poor condition.

–       THE DIESEL HORSE: German tractor-maker Fendt have always had a pioneering spirit, and have been responsible for some very advanced tractors down through the years. We go back to their roots this month, with this award-winning 1942 Dieselross.

–       MG A TO Z RESTORATION: This beautiful MGA was given to the current owner as a thirtieth birthday present, having belonged to his father for the previous seventeen years. What followed was a long and painstaking restoration.

–       SOLO PERFORMANCE: BMW might be famous for their flat twins, but they also made some fine singles, as this fifties R26 attests.

–       OLD FORDS AT CARRIGBYRNE: We catch up with two old Ford owners in Co. Wexford to check out their Model T and Model Y.

–       SHOW REPORTS: Event reports from the Ballyvaughan “Old Boys, Old Toys” Outing, Knockbridge Vintage and Family Day, Limerick Classic & Vintage Car Club Run, Reenascreena Threshing Day, Scurlogstown Haymaking Festival, Virginia Vintage Show, WVVMC West Run, UVCV Club End of Season Run and Bawnboy Vintage Show.
