Model information
1303S Beetle
Info
This Cork registered 1303 was owned by the late Mattie O’Sullivan who ran Europa Cars in Blackrock for many years. A gentleman and a true VW enthusiast. The 1303 was loaded with accessories and personal details.
In later years this ’03 was used as a summer car in Mattie’s son’s holiday home in Wexford but the sea air eventually saw to its demise.
Thanks to VW enthusiast Anthony Murphy for the use of his (main) photo. Watch out for more of Anthony’s great photos which capture the club scene back in the 1980’s
Also, thanks to John O’Sullivan for his old family photo showing 7295ZF outside their family home ready for a convoy to a show.
