I don't suppose you can remember where you saw this for sale? On the very slim chance the ad is around somewhere.

The colour of this car, going by the picture, is probably Light blue code 95. This is sometimes known as Ice Blue. Light Blue code 89 is a much more obvious blue and could be called Baby Blue or Robin's Egg Blue. However some people will still obstinately call it "Grey".

Simon at Brookhouse might know a few people in Ireland with a 68 1800 through the supply of parts, it can be then a process of elimination.

About 6 years ago, I was about to fly over to Ireland to look at a Code 95 Pale Blue P1800S, but another in the same colour came up for sale in Yorkshire, so I purchased the latter instead. I spoke to the vendor in Ireland and, as I recall, it was a UK registered car and was being sold by a lady who was finding the non-power assisted steering to much for her. At that time, it was still on the road and there were some photos of it at local shows in the ad.

I am sure that's the same one from Roscommon, the car came with a spare set of black seats that I tried to convince her to sell to me separately but she declined.
