Latest news on finding info on my car is as follows:
Birth certificate back from VW museum and all looks good, built September 10, 1959 with M020 ( MPH speedo, M094 ( Lockable rear flap handle ), M108 ( Custom model ), M008,042,134,600 ( Can not be identified )
Colour L440 which is still is now so thats good... shipped to Ramsgate etc
Also info back from DVLA and shows one owner from new to 2002, I've traced all the ( 3 ) owners from 2002, but the lady who owned it from new has sadly passed away. As I mentioned earlier in this thread she worked for Baron Russell of Liverpool as his PA and as a stenographer at the Nuremburg war trials. Also I discovered ( on a slight tangent ) that he had to resign as his book was published. "The scourge of the swastika: a short history of Nazi war crimes ". The Daily Express published extracts under the heading "the book they tried to ban" in 1954 and the book became a bestseller..... she was given a first edition signed copy and used to receive a Christmas card every year from him !
So at the moment the story runs a little cold, I still need to discover why she bought the car in South London yet supposedly spent all her life in Warrington ( apart form when she served Baron Russell in Germany ).
Also and hear is where someone on hear might help...I have a couple of old service invoices from a garage in Warrington named H.A. Dean. Now i've searched that company name and found nothing..... anyone in the Warrington area who might remember it ? I guess the garage was trading in the 60's onwards at least.
