Model information
Oval Window Beetle Deluxe
Info
To finish off our trio of 1954 Irish assembled Oval Window Beetles, we have Donal O’Rourke’s old 1954 Oval Window Deluxe.
Donal’s Oval Window Beetle was one of the last to be assembled in MDL’s Shelbourne Road plant which is now Ballsbridge Motors. MDL moved their operations to the Naas Road shortly afterwards. This Cork registered Beetle was running its original 1200cc engine and was painted Black (L41). Parked behind his Oval was Donal’s Morris Minor.
