This might be one for Rich.
Have just had a call from the son of the original owner of my Beetle, had a long chat with him and am now putting quite a comprehensive history of the car together. He was able to tell me that the beetle was bought new in 1957 from a VW Dealer on North Street in Romford, does anyone have any idea which dealer this might have been?
As an aside, there is a repair on the n/s rear 1/4 panel and it turns out this was carried out as a result of a forklift truck driving into it whilst it was being serviced at the supplying dealer when it was still quite new. what a great little anecdote!
