Hi All, I have spotted a buggy on Ebay I am thinking of bidding on.... But it is miles away!!
Just wondered if anyone would be willing to go and look at it and report back for me please?
Many Thanks, A.

Bit too far away to help on this one myself, but do you have a link to the ebay listing as it may even be one that we know of already on here 

I believe it may be this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/beach-buggy/183251414791

In that case its also listed here and currently a grand cheaper at £3k  (admittedly an auction and not buy it now)

Only advice I can offer from the pictures would be to remove the anti roll bar at the front and ditch the coil over shocks all round as that isn`t going to help its handling at all

A lwb Rat that has had the body cut and modified 3K is a good price for an on the road buggy. A lot of folks will not do look at's as they could be held resposnible if things are found to be wrong in use after buying.

3K is a good price for an on the road buggy.

I would also add that at this time of year (the start of the summer), the Buy It Now price of £4K is also very good for an "on the road" Buggy

And its the right colour to use immediately !

Thanks guys.. both auctions have been ended so i guess it's sold by other means!
Would have suited me with the rear seats for the kids... any others out there??

The one here looks tempting

Thanks for the steer Dave but it doesn't really grab me unfortunately. it does tick the rear seat box and few others as well.

You missed a very cheap lwb on e bay a new build sold with no reserve at £4050 just needed checking over and registering correctly after the build.

That was the grey Doon wasn't it. yes cheap but had i bid would it have gone up by loads? it's always the question with Ebay! Had i bid would i have had to bid twice that to win it??

Surely that's the point of an auction

Only one thing is certain, if you don't bid you won't win it.

It just depends on how much other folks are willing to bid, the guy I got ours off turned down £850 cash and stop the auction on a wednesday after my bid of 700 with4 days left but he decided to let it run and being a bank holiday nobody bid anymore so I got a bargain and he lost out.
