    The lads in Deane Motors have done a hell of a job on their showroom, unreal to
    see all of the other businesses on the same site as well.
    You might have just gotten the two Simon's mixed up a little bit there Larry....😉😂

    The Escort Mexico stems from when there was a 16,000 mile rally between England and Mexico and which the Ford works rally team won with the their Escort ( and took 6 out of the top 10 places)
    It’s strange that any car guy would think it’s just a fake sticker 😂

      None of the people involved with car related media on social platforms are car guys in any shape or form, it's quite obvious from their absolute lack of knowledge. Even for an uneducated yank, none of these cars should be *that* exotic, there's not a single car in that collection that a genuine car guy "has never seen before".

    Woah: a 205 GTi and a 944 Cabrio parked side by side? I have BOTH those cars!!! (1992 205 1.9GTi, same colour, owned about 8 years, and a 1989 944 S2 Cabrio - triple black, which I've owned nearly 22 years!). That is nuts that they have both my cars parked side by side!!!

      Had one myself back in the mid 90's. Came with uprated turbo, larger(slightly)all aluminium intercooler, tweaked suspension silicon hoses, the usual. Great craic in a little package(but remarkably roomy on the inside), but I found prone to overheating and lift off oversteer was 'interesting'. And they were made from tin foil and crisp packets :D I seem to remember it having great brakes mind you. Towards the end of my ownership, I broke a really good LHD French import in pearl white metallic that had been impounded in Ireland for tax 'issues'. 200 quid so I figured good for spares. in my shed I still have a lot of the external Turbo panels, bumpers, bonnet, doors IIRC. Have the seats too, but mice got to it over the years... :( Many years ago I sold the dash clocks wheel, and door cards. I say sold, never got paid. The guy I sold my R5 to blew the engine in a week... Have some good memories of that car. :)

      @@Lusty_85 Fair play for keeping the faith sir. 🙂👍I like to see that. I'm running as a daily a JDM 98 spec Integra Type r since 05, so I get that 100%. And you've a bloody lovely and rare car there.I haven't seen a Chamade in donkey's👍
      As for values, at least in the local Irish market, yer man seems sound and clearly a very good businessman and fair play, but he's always been more than a bit 'fruity' with his prices. In the local market anyway.
      Compare to say the UK the number of guys here willing to splash the cash is absolutely _tiny_ by comparison and _actual_ values reflect that. EG 30+ grand for his four door Integra R? Lop 15K off that and he _might_ get a buyer here. He's had it a while at his prices... look at his gorgeous condition Supra. _Fantastic_ car. 100K + in the States, not moving in Ireland. 30k ish? it would sell. Our market over here is a bit of an oddball and where bargains can kinda still be had.

    The Engine Block is one of the most amazingly unique automotive car club as Dean Motorsports called it. Drift Games might have one upon you when it comes to showrooms but Dean Motorsports has Drift Games beat all day everyday when it comes to expensive unique and rare classic cars.

    I'm not sure how many people in ireland wouldn't find left hand drives an inconvenience. I certainly wouldn't fancy dipping half my car over the white line on a tight road to see if i can overtake a tractor or not. Probably fine for city, motorway use.

    The original engine for the MG Metro 6R4 rally car was repurposed. For the XJ220 lol. Thats how insane that car was, if unreliable (they never finished a race, tho it was probably cuz it was purpose built instead of based on a road engine.)
