Its a charity event in Northern Ireland Glen not Ireland, its one of the biggest fund raising events we have in the country. I was at it in 2006 with my father and directors from Guinness. You would not believe some of the things they auction, my father and I bought an all expenses trip to the Renault F1 factory, cost a fair bit but it was worth it.
I might have to get him to buy another table this year!

I think the world and his wife got this email, lol. Could be a very interesting car :wink: However we need to get more details and someone who knows about them to look at it and verify what it is. I think It relly is down to someone in N.Ireland to check it out and report back.

I will give this guy Leo a ring now.
Full report after I speak with him.
- Pilot25dmc - 10 Mar 2008
Just off the phone with the organiser, leo.
Seems the car in question needs some work, I have told them I will pop up during the week and give the car the once over.
Seeing as its for an auction they want the car to reach as high a bid as possible.
He does not know the vin number but I will get that when I am there.

There's a particular car I'm interested in in Ireland - the Wooler Hodec RHD owned by Peter.
I hope it's not this one that's up for auction - I'm not dressed for a ball!
Let us know Al!
Thanks

hi there
looks like it out of my hands thanks alister i will still be going over there in april to look at it but know the car is out in the open which leo wanted then we will be greatfull for all the help about it i did tell him that the best person to talk to was either dave h or chris p on this subject and know that alister has looking into it makes my life a little easy due to the big pound in the middle of us :o
- Pilot25dmc - 10 Mar 2008
Its not Peters car thats for sure.
I dont have any other details on this car other than where its located.
I will have plenty of details once I have seen her.
- Pilot25dmc - 01 Apr 2008
Bit of an update for you all.
Still have not seen the car in the flesh but the organisers have sent me a few pictures.
All I know is that it is NOT A RHD, its a pretty much mint condition LHD 82' flat bonnet with badge and a grey interior.
There is a reserve of £15,000 on the car and having been to a few of these events over the years I cant see this car going for less than £18,000. This is an event for multi-millionaires and once they get drink into them the wallets are on the table.
The car is available for viewing at the Lexus garage in Belfast from the middle of April, I will head down and get some pictures.
Shame its not a RHD but it will make a great concourse collector car for some rich guy.

Slightly off topic I know, but any news on the black-painted D that was on Ebay a few months ago Alistair?
- Pilot25dmc - 01 Apr 2008
Ummm, can, open, worms everywhere......
Don't really want to talk about it, let's just say its one of the reasons I am not on the DOI forum anymore.
Nuff said?
