  Its interesting to see this line of “duds” in VWs transistion from the highly successful Beetle to the successful Rabbit. VW had a hard time pushing those 412s out the door while competing with the modern Audi sourced Dasher. These are unsold 1974 models as these was no 412 for 1975. Both these models soured people on VWs and sent them into Japanese showrooms never to return. Even today VW enthusiasts stay away from these models.

  FI 9658: a Tipperary North reg from near the end of the series: FI 1 to FI 9999 (Dec 1903 - Jan 1958).

  Niall McAuley So it is Main Street, thanks a million!

• Niall McAuley said:

  The street lighting looks pretty feeble, one lamp strung on a wire across the road. This was before the yellow Sodium lights, too, so there would have been one puddle of white light and a lot of shadow.

  I owned a 1960 Ford Thames 100E van in the sixties. We use to put an old bus seat in the back for the passengers and had the two small rear windows enlarged. (you could buy a kit to do the job) In 1964 I drove the van from London to Donegal via Fishguard/Rosslare. 10 hours from London to Fishguard. Lifted on and off the ship in a net. Another 10 hours drive from Rosslare to Donegal. Not bad for a small van with three forward gears and a top speed of around 60mph.. flic.kr/p/6Ntg5H
