Ireland’s first ever census on classic Irish aircooled VWs
About
Beetle.ie aims to celebrate Ireland’s unique position in VW’s global history as the first country outside of Germany to manufacture the Beetle. Our history goes right back to 1950 when the late Stephen O’Flaherty took a gamble on a quirky and untested car from Germany, only a few short years after the end of WW2 and opened a manufacturing plant in an old tram depot on Shelbourne Road, Dublin.
