Sunday April 20th was a special day in the calendar of the Tipperary Vintage and Custom Rally club. This very popular perennial event is organised in support of the South Tipp Hospice & other charities in the region. Fusion Insulation was on hand to offer their support to this most worthy cause and a fascinating and sun drenched day was had by all. The show which is held at Limerick Junction Race Course looked spectacular in the April sunshine and there was all sorts of activities and shows being hosted in tandem with the main vintage rally event. What caught my eye were some of the vintage and classic sports cars . Pictured above in 'white' is a very eye-catching and desirable coupe , a Volvo S1800 , proof that Volvo's weren't always boring. This variant of Volvo called the P1800 was subsequently made famous by a white 1962 Volvo P1800 (with licence plate ST1) driven by Simon Templar, played by Roger Moore, was featured in the TV series The Saint beginning in 1962 and played a prominent role throughout the entire run of the show. Roger Moore was so smitten with the Volvo that he bought one for his own personal use.
