International E-Type
|
International Success
Having been told that it would never be made into a good tractor again, father-and-son team Donal and Owen Farrell from Co. Laois took on the challenge and have turned out a real stunner in this restored International 785. |
A Family Affair
They may not have owned this 1978 Opel Kadett C from new, but a tough service at the hands of the Byrne family during the 1990s has been fi nally rewarded with a painstaking nut-and-bolt restoration to better-than-new condition today, as John Cradden tells us this month. |
Up To 90
Ninety cubic centimetres of swept engine capacity might not sound like enough to raise your interest, but when you clap eyes on Benny Doran’s 1969 Honda S90 you can’t help but be captivated by this little machine’s charms. |
Local Lugger
The Ford E83W truck might have been slow, unrefi ned and basic in the extreme, but it has a cheerful character that’s made it a real classic favourite nowadays. This 1956 example has never left its local parish, and has had only two owners from new. |
A rare, original Irish V12 manual, this E-Type roadster has survived in very original condition, and has remained with its third owner for some thirty years, spending much of that time in continental Europe. It even survived being swapped for a much younger Ferrari…
