Hi everyone, my first post and I'm wanting information (how cheeky)....
Does anyone recognise or know the whereabouts of my Mum's old Beetle? It is a 1961 model bought by my Mum when she was teaching in Germany (Gutersloh, Westphalia) in 1961. She returned to the UK in 1962 and it was assigned the registration "40 EYT" (I believe in Shropshire, but could be wrong).
After trawling the colour codes I've deduced it was L380 Turquoise and looked a lot like this one below but without the towel-rail bumpers and roofrack.

It was sold to a chap in 1983 after my Dad died and he restored it and won a few trophies - he sent Mum a photo after the resto with the trophies lined up on the floor.
I'm not sure if the registration is still in use; I did the DVLA online check and the last registered date was a few years ago.
Any clues would be great. Thanks. 🙂
