Model information
1200 Deluxe Beetle
Info
Built new by MDL in Dublin at the start of 1975, this Rally Yellow 1200 Beetle was sent to Annesley Motors as part of their stock. It was sold at the end of March and was registered on April 3rd to its Dublin based owner, hence the RI registration number.
I spotted this Beetle many years later in Churchtown on the way to the Nutgrove Shopping Centre. It was a daily driver at the time but looked to be in good condition considering it was parked outside all of the time.
