Was down in Dublin port today with a customer and came across below. There used to be a trade dealer here years ago, these have been sitting up for a considerable amount of time at this stage. What a waste

Actually it is tommy,was down there last friday picking up a container and had a close look at them. There are names scriccled on the windows of some of them. All look to be nice straight clean cars,few panes of glass smashed but thats it. I reckon customs own them now.
 
My Dad works down there been telling me about these for ages now.

Always trying to find out if he can get his hands on them for me.

Have never took him serious doe. :cuckoo:

I remember that lot had many car out of there on a test drive...cars where never in the best condition to be honest with you
 
This is down in Alexandra rd, i tried to buy these in june 2007 i think there belonging to autoterminal i had the skyline bought paid for and problems with the de-registration papers meant we had to leave it go can't believe there still sitting up.
 
anyone a lorry driver that can get a access to a multi car flatbed?

seriously................

do they actually belong to anyone?
 
Thats not a dealers lot by the way, that plot of land belongs to dublin port co, what happened was a dealer had paid the japanese agents 50% for these and they were sent out fob, with balance and shipping to be paid on them when they landed as was fairly normal at the time. And was a safe way usually as de reg papers, bill of lading etc wouldn't be released until balance was cleared on each unit but the dealer who bought them had gone bust by the time they landed, and yuwa shipping needed paying for the shipping, the agent needed the final 50% (with a discount obviously), plus stevedores, customs clearance duties etc all the usuals.

The reason i had to let the skyline gts-t and the b4 and a levin bzr go was typically Irish dublin port co wanted standing charges of 50 quid a day for each and it was adding to 4 or 5 k i still have details on my gmail. Back then we brought in a lot of stuff around 120 yokes from a few different agents and the one that owned these offered them to customers with personal account managers first we secured three of them someone else got the impreza the rest first if i remember right it was a wrx ra obviously they had the same issues we had and left them go.

The levin by the way isn't in that pic i dont think got reversed into by something quayside in dublin and the quarter was in shite when i went up to see them.

Yep they belong now to dublin port co, but i guarantee they will never see the road again the de reg docs and bill of lading neeed to clear them will have long since vanished and they will be impossible to get revenue to clear. If anyone seriously wanted them i still have my account agent that tried to sort it out for me but as i say the port charges took all good out of it. I tried paying off mcc and the security to let them out but wasn't happening.

I worked in NVD for a while and around that time someone went into the port in a transporter logo'd up in competitors design and loaded up seven cars and drove out never to be seen again, security increased over night before it was a joke I worked on east wall road for a year and used to go in to see our cars unload every boat, and the security was atrocious. Plus the temp workers hired by stevedores thought they were in tokyo drift it was criminal the way stuff came off the ramps.. Biggest problem was anything that could be stolen was either taken on route or at other ports of call or in dublin by anyone from stevedores to joe bloggs that just walked into the compound. I have thousands of pics from every boat on a hard drive if i find it i'll start a thread with pics of subaru's from the height of importing coming off the boats.
