Additional information:
Update 27th April 2021
Recently found her, green and moss covered in Aberdeenshire. She has had a scrub clean and I'm hoping to get her back to her former glory days and original paint work.

Update 15th May 2021
We'll admit to having wondered if this Beetle was a Mars Red model, as we'd only ever seen photos of the outside. Claire has sent us some interior detail pictures with plenty of incontrovertible evidence that Edna was originally a silver LEB. Yay !
Restoration is now in progress, with the aim of returning the car as close as possible to factory condition.
