The March issue of Irish Vintage Scene is on sale now, and is filled to the brim with over 100 pages of news, event reports and great features. Our cover cars this month will come as a real blast from the past for fans of seventies coupes; when was the last time you saw a pair of Fiat 128 3Ps parked together, especially in condition like this! Elsewhere in the magazine we call to a well-known motor enthusiast in Co. Kildare to check out his amazing low-mileage Wolseleys and vintage Humber, while a unique VW Transporter modified by the Australian Army also features.
Our main tractor feature will be of particular interest to Nuffield fans, as we call to a Co. Cork enthusiast of the marque to check out his five orange beauties. A Ferguson TEF20 restoration also appears, as does a fascinating tractor conversion based on a Model T Ford car! A stunning AEC Mandator from Northern Ireland will delight classic commercial fans, as will the tastefully-restored Norton ES2 for our two-wheeled readers.
Our event coverage this month visits everything from the Inistioge Vintage Rally to the MEC Sprint Hillclimb, so there’s sure to be something of interest to all of our readers, while our Model Scene section features reports from both the Durrow Model & Diecast Show and the Northern Ireland Farm Toy & Model Show. All of the above, combined with our very extensive News & Events and Diary Dates sections, make our March issue an essential read for any Irish classic enthusiast.

This event marks the closing of the show season for many, and time to get a few bits for the garage to carry out planned repairs during the winter months. The array of items for sale at this event is usually very varied, with a headlight for an early 1920s Rolls-Royce beside a taillight for a 1980 Mini on one table last year.

The event has increased in size, and the autojumble section is getting better with each passing year.

An Open Day will be held at the Opel showrooms of Kevin O’Leary Motor Group in Bandon, Co. Cork on Saturday the 10th of September from Noon to 4.30 pm. The event is being held in association with the Opel Owners’ Club of Ireland, and is an indication of the close and friendly relationship between the dealer and the club; only a few weeks ago the club held their annual run, which the Kevin O’Leary Group co-sponsored, and which had a total of 84 cars participating, from a 1964 Holden to a 2011 Insignia.
