Car enthusiasts flocked to Waterford city for an auction of vintage and classic cars dating from the early 1900s.
A Model T Ford from 1912 was the oldest in the collection of cars which had been willed to a woman by her late father.
The rarest car was an Italian 1926 Bianchi, which is wrapped in leather with wooden spokes.
Thomas Keighery, auctioneer with Antiques Ireland, said it is the only car of its kind in Ireland.
Mr Keighery said car enthusiasts from all over the country had travelled to see the collection being auctioned along with cart, traps, carriages and transport memorabilia.
"This is quite a rare collection of cars that were all left to a lady in a will," he said.
"We've got some very old cars ranging from 1912 up to 1960 and all of them are in remarkable condition for their age."
Mr Keighery said they were in "pristine condition" because they had been stored so well.
"As my father said, they were wrapped in blankets better that would be on your bed and my bed, and they were kept in a garage really well for the last couple of years."
Seamus Walsh, who owns Waterford Castle, bought a number of cars including an Austin and a Ford Prefect.
"We're building a little car museum at the moment, and it's a great privilege to buy something that was someone's dream who's 110 years old," he said.
Tony and Margaret Tobin were selling a trap, which he described as a "means of carriage in the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s".
The couple had fond memories of taking it to Ardmore but when the pony died they were unable to find another so they decided to sell it.
Margaret said she was "emotional, it was in my family a long time".
It was bought for €1,000 by Sam Harper as a "nostalgia purchase".
He intends to use it as display piece, bringing back childhood memories.
