Vintage Beetle up for auction

A VINTAGE 1950s Volkswagen Beetle owned by a pensioner will go under the hammer at an auction later this month.

The classic car is expected to fetch around £9,000 when it appears alongside a selection of rare art and antiques in McTear’s collectables sale.

The 1953 Beetle has been in the hands of 72-year-old Willie Black, who lives in Strathaven, since 1966.

The sale will take place in Glasgow on 29 September at 6pm.
