Model information
1200 Beetle Deluxe
Info
Jim McCallum’s nephew submitted this Beetle to the Beetle.ie Census recently. We love this photo and would love to know more about it but for now we’ll take the approach that sometimes a photo says more than any amount of words ever could so I think I will just leave this one here and let you enjoy the image!
I don’t know if this Beetle is being towed or if it is driving but I’d love to think it’s driving! This 1200 Beetle Deluxe is an Irish assembled model, put together in MDL’s plant on the Naas Road in Dublin, sold and registered in Dublin in September 1970. At some point this Lotus White (L282) Beetle was parked outside under a tree or somewhere similar where it gained its weathered look, and yet it doesn’t look too rusty, from this angle anyway!
Is this your Beetle? Do you know anything about it? Please get in touch as we would love to tell its full story here on Beetle.ie
