The NCBI Classic & Vintage Show was held at the weekend in the grounds of St. Columba’s College in Whitechurch near Tibradden at the foot of the Dublin mountains.
All week Patrick ‘Carspotter’ Cummins will be featuring his favourite cars from the show. Including these three classics (above)
1. Hillman Minx: “This Hillman was assembled by Buckley Motors in Dublin and first registered to John Player and Sons.”
2. Triumph Herald Coupé: “In my opinion, the Herald Coupé stood out as the most interesting car of the show. I always thought the original Herald to be an ugly slab of a car but this coupé model is stunning.”
3. Riley Elf: “The Riley Elf and its sister car, the Wolsely Hornet, were based on the famous Mini Cooper. I always had a particular liking for these models.”
Name those years anyone?

The NCBI classic? As in a fund raiser where people go and appreciate the aesthetic of heavy mechanic machinery made to be piloted by someone in the full of their ocular health. Another fun-run for the wheelchair bound then.
Different NCBI?
Like these posts, Hillman, for me here.
Yes, this is run in aid of the National Council for the Blind in Ireland. As ironic as that might seem, the event organisers Jean & Kevin are big into their classic cars. Why not do something worthwhile with your hobby, eh?
Stunning collection of Cars
More of these ! :)
I went to this last Sunday, the yellow Rolls Royce was stunning
I hate those needlessly long number plates for imported vehicles. It’s the star of david for private imports. They shouldn’t be easily distinguished. Whoever made that decision needs to be questioned on it.
