On the cover of the December 2021 issue of Irish Vintage Scene is a unique BMW E21 that’s only recently emerged from 31 years in storage – its owner has sought to preserve its extremely original condition while also recommissioning it into a reliable fast-road driver, a project that turned out more difficult than first expected but was worth every minute.
Our second car feature drops in on four brothers that share a passion for vintage and classic cars, and they share with us the history of their three Rovers, plus one 1937 Morris.
Our tractor feature this month tells the story of one enthusiast’s beautiful Fordson Dexta and Ferguson TEF20, both of which were restored to a very high standard during last year’s Covid lockdowns.
Our motorcycle feature delves into the history of the Villiers two-stroke engines that were ubiquitous in motorcycles, garden equipment and industrial machines before the spread of Japanese domination, while our commercial feature recounts the tale of two friends’ decades-long search for their dream Commer TS3 trucks.
To provide the vintage and classic vehicle enthusiast in Ireland with one place to source all they need for their hobby.
