Mayor of Killarney, Cllr Marie Moloney, travelled through the town in style during the St Patrick’s Day Parade on Thursday last.

ON THE ROAD: Jordan Lee onboard his Toyota RAV4 at the St Patrick's Day Parade last Thursday.

Glenbeigh-based classic car restoration and hire specialists Pristine Classics, operated by Florian Seidler, provided a 1958 Bentley S1 for the occasion.

His company specialises in the sales and restoration of classic cars. He also provides high-end cars to wedding parties and has recently started a new branch of the business where car fans can hire a classic car for a day or a week and take it on traditional driving routes in Kerry. Another arm of the business is classic car syndication of classic cars allowing for shared ownership of an otherwise out of reach motor.

Last Thursday’s parade was the first time he was invited to participate in the Killarney St Patrick’s Day festivities.

“It was a very good thing to be part of,” he told the Killarney Advertiser. “It is a lovely looking car and everybody was delighted to see it.”

Members of Killarney Valley Classic and Vintage Club also took part in the parade.

They were the only car enthusiasts in the event. Local Paralympian Jordan Lee, as part of his brand ambassador role with Kelliher’s Garage and Toyota Ireland, also took part in his Toyota RAV4.
