Info
One of the things we are very happy to be able to do here at Beetle.ie is to reunite people with old VWs from their past life, usually that belonged to family members. It doesn’t always work out but we are delighted to try and help people find thier old VW or at least find some information which might get them closer to finding out what happened this piece of family nostalgia. Aaron Fleming is hoping he can find his grandfather’s old Beetle. From what we can see it hasn’t been taxed on the new digital system so it wasn’t on the road in 1993. Perhaps you’ve seen it or maybe you have it in your barn. If you do know anything about it please get in touch and we will happily put you in touch with Aaron.
We’ll let Aaron tell you a little something about his grandfather’s 1975 1200cc Beetle with the registration number IZX 171
“It was owned by my grandfather, most likely from new and would probably have been purchased from Tarrant’s VW Dealers in Killarney, from what I’ve heard from by dad. Unfortunately my grandfather passed in 2005 so don’t have much info apart from the odd picture. My grandad lived in Killarney and from what I can tell he updated his cars at least once a decade.”
Aaron is also looking for OZX 174, an April 1977 Beetle. So if you can help Aaron with information on either VWs, Aaron would be forever grateful.
