Red Between the Vines
The Massey-Ferguson 135 is such an iconic and popular tractor here in Ireland that there are always plenty to enjoy at any vintage event. However, you won’t come across another quite like Raymond Browne’s petrol-powered vineyard version. |
Cherry Picker
Once a popular and well-liked family car here in Ireland, when was the last time you saw a Datsun Cherry either on the road or at a classic show? Andy Mahon’s blue beauty may well be the very last Irish-assembled example in existence. |
Match Play
The brand might have become mired in the Associated Motor Cycles scenario post-WW2, but Matchless’ flying M logo still stirs classic and vintage motorcycle enthusiasts today. This month we look at a late-fifties recreational model that has its roots in wartime. |
Goods in Transit
For over fifty years, the Ford Transit has been working tirelessly across Europe carrying people, goods and materials to schools, offices, sites and shops. The two we feature this month are both Mk1s, but their stories couldn’t be more different. |
It’s a well-known fact that time waits for nobody, but can the Ford Fiesta really be forty years old? This month we celebrate the ruby anniversary of Ford’s baby hatch by looking at a hugely original Solar Gold 1980 Fiesta that was itself an 18th birthday present for its enthusiastic new owner.
