Is there a club in Ireland for classic BMWs?
What club or association is there in Ireland for owners of classic BMW cars, and I mean vehicles 30 or more years old? Four years ago I met a chap in Mondello [at Mondello Live Sunday] who claimed to be a club for such people, and I do mean he, on his own, not a group. I have forgotten or lost his name but have not seen or heard of him or any events being held since.

What happens with a late registration?
This is my supplementary question to Neil Briscoe regarding VRT on classic cars. Thank you for following up Neil. Regarding the fact that the car in question has been in Ireland since 2006 without being registered, will this mean that a surcharge will apply on registering the car now due to the lateness of that registration?
Many thanks again

Can you advise me on buying an older Mazda MX-5?
I'm looking out for a Mazda MX-5, an old one, to have as an open top / second car for the summer (I'm a weather optimist!). What issues if any should I watch out for? Is there a major difference between the 'regular' MX-5 and the Jap import versions?
