Info

Thanks to Joe Dempsey from Eircooled Car Club for submitting this photo of an Irish assembled 1966 1200 Beetle Deluxe. Joe took this photo at the Mountbellew Vintage Show on July 29th 2018.

The Beetle has been restored and modified slightly with lowered suspension, EMPI 8 Spoke wheels, highback seats, dechroming of the bonnet and side trim and a change of colour from the original Sea Sand (L568) to navy.

There aren’t too many Irish assembled 1960s Beetles around so it’s nice to see this Tipperary South registered Beetle out and about.
