Renegade + Bounty Hunter Corvair


Been on here many years but never posted. As Mel Hubbard nicknamed the car Lego, I'm afraid it is no more... bleugh

Can you guess what it is yet?  :)

a single seat buggy so guess it may have had square graphics on the side you have polished off.

My guess is it's got sunburnt and is now sparkly orange.

I was never fully happy with the Invader, with having the Corvair turbo engine it was only right to order a Bounty Hunter from Rob Kilham which I really like and pays homage to Mel Keys original design.

The buggy isn't finished yet and will be a three seater as my 2 daughters have grown up (the third seat being sunken near the oil cooler).

That looks good. Any more pics of the engine and interior?
I'm in my buggy,
It's raining,
I really don't care.

Back on the road after 4 years.

Really enjoying the sunshine!

Will upload more pictures soon, just finishing the homemade roof ready for the rain!

David as a life style influencer before the internet type came about it is good to see I made an impression on somebody to lower their standard and worry less about it. ;D ;D ;D ;D that looks ready for an IBW trip in 2021 ;)
