Nostalgia: ‘Badgerbug’ turns heads in town
A car with a unique look was turning heads as it zipped through the traffic in Lurgan in 1985.
It had an even more unusual name, a ‘Badgerbug’ and it belonged to a young man from the town.
The red Volkswagen was the pride and joy of Paul Gillespie who saw an advert in a magazine for custom cars.
A trip to Coventry and the return with the car cost £2,500.
The car also took the fancy of judges at a custom car show in Portrush where Paul was presented with a silver cup for second place.
Paul is pictured her with the ‘Badgerbug’ and Jacinta McCrory.
