Hi, After 30 yrs, and great plans to build myself a Buggy, I've finally succumbed to the fact that time is against me and bought one instead.

As you will see from my post in the engine section (actually a clutch/gearbox issue), its second trip out ended in failure but hopefully that will be resolved with a few spanners.

My buggy is a SWB GT so seems to be fairly rare, the builder added a few "extra" bits in the form of a fully opening bonnet with catches and a small boot area nicely fibreglassed in, plus what seems to be a unique dashboard too. I'm not sure if it will be known to any club members but looks to have been built around 2010.

Thanks, in Olney, between MK and Northampton.

A friend took this picture 15 minutes before we ground to a halt, and he ended up towing me home  :'(

What's the difference between a front cake and a rear cake

'What's the difference between a front cake and a rear cake'

Could it be 'front cake hole' and 'rear cake hole' ?

Hi, Welcome to the forum and buggy ownership, really nice looking buggy, here is another photo of it taken some time ago when it did have a rear cage and tow bar mount fitted.

Have fun. Be lucky

Thanks, any idea when that picture was taken? Curious to see it's lost the cage, no idea what you mount a towbar to on the chassis?

The rear cage and towbar mount was up up for sale on ebay about a year ago, the photo was in the listing to show how it looked fitted, I copied the photo just because it was one I hadn't seen before and it had Revolution 5 spoke wheels on it.
Have fun. Be lucky

Thanks. I suspect previous owner sold them before he had the engine swap done looking at timings.
