Info

“Hi Cathal. Hope you’re keeping well. RIZ 152 was a grey Beetle that was bought by my father in Cathal Duffy’s back in June 1966. Dad traded in another grey Beetle, EEI 260, for it. EEI 260 was a Sligo registered January 1965 1200 Beetle Deluxe. He later traded in RIZ 152 for a red 1500S Notchback (MZB 686) in Chris O’Mahony’s in Cork.”
