Info
Spotted on a street side in Fermoy in 2004, this orange ’77 Limerick County registered Beetle sported a For Sale sign at the time. It’s hard to tell from the photos I have of it but I think it had GT-style wheels.
EDIT 5-6-18: This Beetle spent many years in Annacotty, County Limerick. I would see it driving in and out of town maybe once or twice a week. There would be a man driving with (I presume) his wife in the passenger seat and sometimes there would be a younger teenager in the back. It was always immaculate, never dirty. In fact, I don’t ever remember seeing it driving in the rain. It was obviously a very well minded Beetle. I can only assume this was original paint. Cathal
