you're searching for hen's teeth there!! I only know of a couple of original Irish reg split Beetles still above ground. There are a few imports in the country but almost no Irish-built ones left. If you find one, I'd love to see what you got. Be sure to keep us updated.

Have you tried Niall Clarke in Longford? He breaks mk2 Golfs

Hi Cory, I'll get you sorted tomorrow

Hi Hugh, yeah it's still here, I started back into the world of education again so I haven't been motivated to either finish it or really push hard with the sale of it. So it's nice and dry in the back corner of the garage where YIP was in the photo above. As for YIP, I got it back on the...

What it lacks in thermostats, it makes up in rear anti roll bars.

Unless they bully the seller into selling for too small money, which would be illegal and immoral I'd doubt anyone here is going to rip them off in buying.

All the windows are smaller though. Not just the rear ones. Even the windscreen is a different size. I'd say either hold out for a 58-64 shell or compromise on your plans and go with a 70s big window shell.

If you're making a 1963 Herbie replica then this isn't for you. I'm sure you already know the window sizes are different, amongst other details.

This is a stalled resto I have. All the metal work is done, it's in epoxy primer, ready for paint. It's got 4x new genuine VW quarter panels, new channels, front and rear aprons, californian bonnet, one new genuine door, one californian import door, new spare wheel well, new rear cross members...

Count me in Noah. 👍

I'll email you Tony
