Info
We received the attached photo and the following note. It’s great to see new Beetles emerge from storage and it’s also fantastic to see Beetles in long term family ownership. Thanks so much for submitting your Beetle to the Census on Volkswagens in Ireland. We love the old Western Garages number plate surround. Western Garages were the main Volkswagen dealer in Ennis at the time.
“This Beetle has been in our family since 1972. My mother bought it from Joe Spooner in Spooner’s VW dealership in Roscrea. The Beetle was originally registered to a man from Tulla in County Clare back in 1970.”
