Topic: Terenure Car Show

[DeAutogids]

This show is probably Ireland's biggest car show and I only heard about it this year when driving through the Wicklow Mountians, near Glendalough. Probably my last visit to a car show in Ireland as well.

To get there I got in a traffic jam, with many classic cars, quite an absurd sight, really.

This was just before the actual show grounds (sports ground of a college) and it already started out to be nice.


Little did I know I would find a scale model of a Garda-car here as well.


After paying to get in, this Jaguar passed by. The show was organised by the Irish Jaguar club.


This DeSoto was the winner of last years show.






This car was part of the Classic and Vintage Car Club of Ireland.

This reminded me of a Budgie miniature car I have of a Wolseley police car.














I believe this to be a Vignale?

[DeAutogids]

Alvis, not a very common car, I would think?








Argyll, even less common?


A British Speedwell

[DeAutogids]

A KRIT, not something I expected to see...








A Timoney, an Irish build fire truck for on airports. Detroit two-stroke diesel engine.






A Minerva!

[DeAutogids]

And this is a chopped Vauxhall.

[DeAutogids]

I did not expect to see a Daihatsu Charade here...


Not a Leyland, an AEC.


This is AEC as well


A bit more care is needed, I suppose...

Them people did not move for most of the day, never got a clear shot of it

I suppose it's an old Renault, but forgot to check...

This guy was on a road trip with this bus, a Setra with a four cylinder Henschel-engine. Setra is short for Selbsttragend and means more ore less Unibody or Monocoque, though I am sure one of our German member scan give a good translation. He was in Scotland, were the bus broke down and had to repair the bus, using English-size tools, whereas of course the bus was not using English-size bolts. He was by coincedence in Dublin, where a motorbike driver asked if he was going to the motor show. No, he replied, but I can, and so he did. Probably one of the show stoppers and that as a chance-encounter.

A (British) Daimler as a van?


Expert out there, is this a Jaguar, or a SS?


This was on the grille.


I jokingly called this a Daimler ute, or Daimler pickup...

Didn't zoom out quickly enough

(Again, didn't get the camera in time)






A bit too new?
