Info

“This is the first car I ever drove. It was a 1968 Beetle 1200 with the registration number BZO 814. It was my dad’s last Beetle before he went Renault (R4 van)!
I was 9 years old and all I wanted to do was to get the needle on the speedo up to 90mph, as my dad pootled around at 30 or 40mph! I got it into second gear!! My folks had a Type 2 Bus, a camper around then too, VMI xxx I’ve asked dad for photos, but none yet.
I think little stories like this have etched the Beetle into the hearts of people worldwide, so Beetle.ie is a really great idea you have.”
