Info

Thanks to Martin Browne for this photo and to Darren O’Rourke of the Original Irish Aircooled VW Facebook group. If you haven’t checked out Darren’s Facebook group, then please do. It’s an ever evolving page filled with classic aircooled, Irish registered Volkswagens.

Registered in Dublin back in October 1976, this 1200 Beetle Deluxe was assembled in MDL at the start of September 1976 before being driven to its Dublin dealer, Kenilworth Motors, to be sold. The colour is Senegal Red (L31A) and it is still running the original factory fitted 1200cc engine.
