A Nice Vintage

The vintage car show, held outside Wicklow's Historic Gaol last Sunday, wasn't as interesting as previous years but this was nice  - a 1969 911T.

The Three MOs

Three MOs (that's Morris Oxfords) leave the Wicklow Arms, Delgany for the Garden Of Ireland Vintage Car Club New Year Run on Sunday last, preceded of course by the ever gorgeous Borgward Isabella Coupé.

Cool, Man

Ambling across the new bridge at The Murrough, Co Wicklow, while enjoying the sparkling October weather, this Morgan is way too cool, man!

Isabella

So today we renew our acquaintance with dear Isabella, dressed on this occasion in delectable shades of green and perfectly blending, Saturday morning last, with the leafy surrounds of the beautiful village of Enniskerry, Co Wicklow.

Now, gentlemen, let's not get carried away - we are gathered here at the Powerscourt Arms Country House for the Garden of Ireland Vintage Car Club's 2nd Annual Garden of Ireland Run departing from Enniskerry and heading through Glencree and on to Blessington and from there back to Woodenbridge, for some overnight fun, and finishing up with a short run to the Glenview Hotel in Glen of the Downs on Sunday.

All right, I can't deny, my favourite is the Borgward Isabella Coupe but what about the Morgan 4-4 2 Seater Sports above left or the beautifully maintained '51 Morris Oxford, right and especially the classic Porsche Speedster pictured below.

Rally At Russborough

Blessington Vintage Car & Motorcycle Club held their autumn rally on Sunday last, meeting at beautiful Russborough House, Blessington, Co Wicklow on what was a dark and murky morning but much uplifted by the stately surroundings and the spectacle of the motors assembled there, many of which came from the U.K..

Now, your intrepid blogger just happened to be there to witness this gathering  prior to attending a morning tour of the aforementioned house at a cost of €10.  And, no, I can't offer you photos - no photography allowed inside this house!  I wonder could they have a security problem?
