I'll see your anorak and raise you, CSI 633 was a current reg around sept of '82, just after the 6 got a facelift, ABS, etc. Since the 633CSI disappeared around '79 iirc then the owner of the CSI 633 reg certainly rebadged the car to suit the reg.

re. Dublin reg's, the sequence of plates was as follows (where *ze is aze1 to yze999, etc.):

*ze - 1978 - 79

*zh - 1979

*zi - late 1979 - 80

*zj - 1980 - Jan 81

*zl - 1981

*zo - 1981 - Jan 82

*zu - Jan 1982 - Aug 82

*si - Aug 1982 - Jun 83

*zg - Jun 1983 - May 84

*zs - May 1984 - Mar 85

*zv - Mar 85 - Jan 86

si 1 - si 9999 - Jan 1986 - apr 86

zg 1 - zg 9999 - Apr 1986 - Jul 86

zs 1 - zs 8705 - Jul 1986 - Dec '86 (ZS8705 was the last old style reg no. issued in Dublin)
Now: BMW 523i SE '00, 318i SE - e91 '07, 325i Coupe '93.

Prev:
e46 328i SE Touring, 330Ci, 318Ci.

My brothers buddy, who is based in Galway, has a few 6 series and other assorted classics he buys and parks up all over the place and ends up doing nowt with. There's a mint 77 XJ6 sitting doing nowt in my brothers driveway in Dublin since February for example. Wouldn't surprise me if those 6s were his too...tis his style

I've just come back from Corsica, where there were quite a few 505s parked up in the mountain villages. Nice looking things.

I've been very tempted by this - it's been for sale for months & months now... 2.2L, rear wheel drive, a limmo as standard, and it's dropped to peanuts. And drop dead gorgeous in my opinion. you can tune them too - they made a 180bhp turbo one (this only has 130-odd bhp) - and there's still loads of tuning bits available.

AAAh yes, it was TJ I spoke to before and asked that his brothers buddy get in contact

St Jude is getting close to as far as I intend rebuilding her at this time and I might look at a 635 as I have the rusting wreck full of workable goodies

One of these days i'll get it right (sigh)

I actually remember seeing that car on some Peugeot website advertised for sale, it was a UK website afair and it was going for very little money. I would love to buy an old 505 for nostagia regions, my dad had one for 10 years and scrapped it in 1997.

As it has only half the miles that mine has, I am seriously thinking of selling mine and buying his.

And I thought that it only happened to others.

You Jammy Ba@#ard,

There was a red one for sale recently with 27k on it for roughly the same money. Cant be many left with that mileage.

Best of luck with it if you get it.

It's actually an E reg, so 1988 example... they go for nothing so maybe a test drive of this one a wad of cash and you might be a winner

I wouldn't rely on him finding the note on the windscreen, its probably pulp now with all the rain we have had.

UPDATE::

Ill call him on Monday and see what the story is.

Cheers

Thanks for the update,

No, that's not so good, you can tell him that Hammond Lane might take the red one off him. I would say he will probably be looking for too much money for the blue one. The sad part is, if it is left lying around for much longer it will be the same as the red one.

Keep us informed.

Regards,

Bayerische.
