    Try the local history people. They may have some pics of the old garage or could point you in the right direction for people who worked there.

    We were lucky enough to buy Marge from an elderly lady who lived literally 1/2 mile from where she bought the bug from in 1976. The garage was on Ecclesall Road, Sheffield but is closed now:(
    I hope you get some luck coz. it's great to have in the history file...

    When I get back I'll contact a local chap who's bit of a history buff.
