Mystery abandoned car

[jamesC.]

I noticed this today next to a house with an old mk2 Golf outside it. I’m usually quite good at identifying old cars but I’ve no idea what this is. Anyone have any ideas?

[chaseracer]

The Audi A4, the K10 Micra, or the mk3 Golf?

[AdeMk1]

Possibly an early micra, or a datsun?

[Tamworthbay]

I was going to say Mk1 Micra but not sure that’s right looking it the frontal pic

[mercrocker]

K10 Micra.

[Crispian_J_Hotson]

The one in the green polytunnel?

[Crispian_J_Hotson]

 

It's a quadraportte, but you get my drift...

[jamesC.]

Possibly an early micra, or a datsun?

Ah yes that’s it I think. I’d forgotten about them

[Crispian_J_Hotson]

G.I.B!

[eddyramrod]

Yeah Micra, or possibly the home-market March, which would explain the grille.  I saw many like that in Cyprus.

[Ghosty]

K10 Micra definitely.

[bramz7]

Why would you want to save one in a field when there's loads of roadworthy ones about?

It's missing it's front bumper and grille by the way.

[GrumpiusMaximus]

Thank Goodness.  I thought K10 Micra too and then used the thread to check I wasn't going insane.

 

I am going insane but at least I'm able to still spot a K10...

I don’t know about England but there’s not many of them left here. I never said I wanted to save it though. Not while this is still around

[sierraman]

That looks fucking rotten. Top bombing if you can restore that though.

Oh, I don't know. It doesn't look that bad for a Mazda 6.

[djoptix]

You forgot your closing bracket

Where did you see that?

[Guest Hooli]

The Audi A4, the K10 Micra, or the mk3 Golf?

 

So it wasn't just me trying to spot an obscure car behind them then?

Come on spill the beans!! where's this?

[jamesC.]

It’s in a housing estate in the suburbs of Dublin. I don’t really want to give out the exact location though

Fair enough.. I do plenty of shite spotting around Dublin anyway so I'll find it eventually

[Dirk Diggler]

Is that somewhere around Kilkee?

[jamesC.]

No the micras in wicklow

My neck of the woods

[Dirk Diggler]

That's not around Newtownmountkennedy on the way back to Roundwood from the turn at Gregorys by any chance?

No it’s just outside of a little village called shillelagh (which also has an abandoned fiat dealer with a few old cars outside it)

[Christine]

   shillelagh         That's a club for smacking people over the head  

[mercrocker]

Who'd join a club like that?
