Spotted this on Facebook recently. Good to have it back.

The Kingsley Hotel was buzzing on a bright April evening for our monthly meeting:
Following on from the success of previous years, and in association with Jaguar Heritage and Spirit motors we will have the only RD6 concept car, on our stand at the Terenure Classic cars show this year.
The first diesel car designed by Jaguar and also the first Jaguar concept car designed by Ian Callum.
As per previous years the car will be displayed in Spirit Motors on the Saturday prior to the show. I’ve included a few photos to tempt to you to come visit and see this once off car exclusively on The Jaguar Enthusiasts Club stand at Terenure.
