Sitting proudly on the cover of our November 2022 issue is a classic that needs little introduction – the Jaguar E-Type has been turning heads and winning trophies since its introduction in 1961, and while this stunning V12 Series III comes from a later stage of the model’s life, it’s still very much a thing of beauty following plenty of work by its owner.

Irish Vintage Scene Issue 197 November 2022
Sitting proudly on the cover of our November 2022 issue is a classic that needs little introduction – the Jaguar E-Type has been turning heads and winning trophies since its introduction in 1961, and while this stunning V12 Series III comes from a later stage of the model’s life, it’s still very much a thing of beauty following plenty of work by its owner.
Our second car feature this month is very special, as we meet up with the legendary Rosemary Smith and some of the competition cars she’s most associated with, to relive some of her past glories.
Our tractor feature this month is the tale of a cherished David Brown 995 that was restored using input from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, our featured motorcycle is a real oddity in the form of a diesel-powered Royal Enfield Bullet, and our commercial feature tells the story of a 1989 Nissan Patrol 3.3 that spent its working life with the Tullamore fire service, before being saved from an uncertain fate by one of its serving fire-fighters.
To provide the vintage and classic vehicle enthusiast in Ireland with one place to source all they need for their hobby.
