I only have a few sets of these NOS genuine Hella Tombstone rear light lenses.........and when they're gone they're definitely gone :lol3: They've been on a shelf in a garage for years and have not been taken out of their boxes until now. They are in perfect condition and will really make a...

I cut this out of Irish Vintage Scene a few months ago to remind myself to create a post about it but I'm only getting around to it now. This year the Gerard Murphy Memorial Car Show & Run is all about Volkswagens as well as the Capri which celebrates 50 years this year. As a club I think it...

In our research for the book Trev and myself have met some great people. One of those people is Florence Murphy who you will see driving their 1979 Karmann Beetle Cabriolet that both she and Johnny bought in Germany and drove home. It's a beautiful Beetle and so original. Anyone in the Cork area...

Great show. I think the biggest they've ever had. A few VWs from the day:

I saw this the other day and thought it might be of interest to some people in the locality. I was planning on going but I won't be around on Sunday. It's for a great cause and it's a fantastic excuse to get your old VW out for a run.

Stanford Hall is definitely one of my favourite VW shows. This year's special display was the Karmann Beetle Cabriolet, celebrating 70 years of the Beetle cabrio. The Cabrio Club UK were also celebrating their 40th anniversary and also 40 years since the end of Beetle cabriolet production. When...

I've decided to sell my fully restored Cal Look Beetle. For some insight please look up the thread on the restoration https://www.eircooled.com/deforum/fo...al-look-beetle I first saw this Beetle back in 1989 when I was on school holidays in my aunt's house in Dundrum. Once it drove by me I...

I got the below email from Barretstown yesterday with the summer dates that are available for Eircooled. All the dates are quite well spaced out which is good so if the same people are doing all the dates there's a good break between them. The only issue I can see is the August 15th Party Night...

Ireland's longest running aircooled only VW show is back in Monard for 2019. Martin Murray's Eirespares Show is happening Sunday 21st July. This excellent show is now happening every second year so don't miss this year's show or you'll have to wait until 2021!!!! As usual Eirespares is 100%...

To free up storage space I am selling my 1303. I bought this 1303 in July 2016 after first seeing it way back in 1989 so nearly a 30 year wait! The story of this car is that it was bought new in Switzerland by an Irish family who were working there - I believe one was a doctor. When they moved...

I'm doing a clearout at the moment and found these NOS 1960's Goodyear slicks in the attic. I bought them in the US a number of years ago, having never been mounted to any rims and still had stickers on one of them. I had a set of 5 stud rims blasted and painted black before getting the tyres...

I have a few parts I no longer need. The doors came off my Cal Look. The passenger door has one small hole near the back. They have been modified for one piece glass so have the cross bar for the fly window removed. The ATS alloys are all 55151 but one is an earlier edition so has smoother...

Highback Beetle seats. They are on the 2 runners so will fir up to 1973 Beetles. At some point someone covered them but the original covers are underneath. €150

It's back!!! Jumpstart 2018 is officially ON!! Saturday July 21st will see aircooled VWs literally over-run the small, sleepy village of Loughmore, Co. Tipperary. As Ireland's BIGGEST gathering of aircooled VWs, you're guaranteed a great day out. And did I mention, it's free? There's no...

I'm hoping someone might know the whereabouts of a 1977 Beetle that I'm trying to find. It was last seen in 2003 where these pics were taken, at the Limerick Show when it was held in Ballyneety, Co. Limerick. The Beetle was looking tired and a little rough so perhaps it's in a shed waiting for...

I know I've asked before but no harm in asking again I suppose. Does anyone have a set of these late Beelte seats with headrests they'd be interested in selling? They are for '76.5-'79 Beetles, more often seen on US models than Irish Beetles.

I've always thought what the DKP Club do in California each Xmas is pretty cool. I think I may have said it here before......probably the same time every year :blush: As we get to the end of 2017 and look to plan meetings/events for 2018, would people be interested in being part of something...

I totally forgot to post these pics. Myself, Trev and the boy Duts met up in the Midway in Portlaoise so we could have a quick look around the Ballinakil Indoor Show before going on to Barn Bugs & Wags.

If you're lucky enough to have €75k burning a hole in your pocket then this one's for you........ http://www.oldbug.com/brownbeauty.htm

Some familiar VWs and some not seen in a while.
