Volkswagen Beetle Sells at McTear's

This lovely Volkswagen Beetle, which has been in the hands of Glaswegian Willie Black since 1966, sold for £6500 at our auction earlier on this week. Mr Black said "I have had great fun with it over the years but I'm 72 now and I think it's time for someone else to appreciate and enjoy it for a while." We certainly hope the buyer does just that!
