Looking for an original beetle interior in colour Brick Red. It's for an early 1960s beetle. Any condition considered and also just single seats / panels. Money awaiting or will swap against new repro interior.

I use to know of a dark grey beetle in the Fermoy area that was stored in a barn awaiting restorations. This car had a brick red interior. The barn was situated on a piece of land with a fari few beetles on it (scarp yard). I somehow remember that they guys owning the barn were into gyrochopters. Any leads to this beetle (i.e. interior) also very much appreciated.

I'd be fairly sure that the Anthracite beetle from the Fermoy area was my old '62 - I bought it from Kieran Moynihan who had bought it from Humphrey Lynch from Fermoy.

Did it look like this...

The interior was immaculate, brick red as you said, and looked like this...

I sold it on to a guy called Mick in Carlow - the last I heard the resto was finished and the car was shown at either Durrow or Kilbeggan a year or so ago. It's now white / cream so I dunno if he kept the original interior - send me a PM if you want his mobile number.
