Celebrating classic cars in Ireland-

You probably arrived at this page because you did a search for something relating to classic cars or their restoration. I hope you find what you want, but in any case Welcome, and even if you don't find exactly what you are looking for, I hope you find something to interest you in these pages.

I set up this site to share my experiences owning and restoring classic cars in Ireland. In a way it's therapy for the disease - or maybe it's an addiction, call it what you will- of classic car ownership.  So far, the therapy has failed- the disease is getting worse.

You won't find any deep philosophy here- just my thoughts on the ownership, maintenance and restoration of a selection of classic cars spanning the years from 1939 to 1983 (the cars, that is- not me)

While restoring these cars, or trying to solve problems, I often found myself searching the internet, or hunting through classic car magazines, to find some hints and solutions. I was helped greatly by the generosity of others who have set up their own sites and who have published helpful information and advice on a host of topics. 

I;m hoping that with this site I can give something back, and contribute something in areas where I failed to find solutions. Hopefully these pages will be of some help to anyone contemplating classic car ownership, or maybe to someone who already owns a classic and is thinking about jumping into the bottomless pit which is called "restoration". Or perhaps it will simply entertain the casual visitor.
