Info
“We got this Beetle in a hay shed in Athlone back in 1993. We believe it was originally owned by two nuns from Loughrea in County Galway, hence the IM registration. I did a full body off restoration.”
Beetle.ie: Interestingly, LIM 676 was spotted by our own Trev in an old RTE clip about parking in Athlone in 1972 so it’s nice to see a period photograph of it from back when it was a daily driver.
