Red Model T 

Car  brief history – It is an Irish car, discovered in ballyvaughan Co. Clare in the 60”s as a barn find  restored by Tom Byrne in Wicklow in the 70’s, changed hands a few times later and my father purchased it in 1985 from John Moloney in limerick and it’s been in our family since. Was off the road then for 20 years until I got it going again in 2005 and has been very active since then.
