Hi Mel we need a price please.

oops,...done! £9600

Probably the best GP buggy in the country.

Thanks Dave. Its been a hard decision to sell after 32 years, but I'm now a pensioner and am slowly becoming an old fart with ailments. I hope that whoever buys it will look after it and keep the superb sounding Ansa dual canon exhausts on it.

Also for sale on Ebay,  Item #: 144106025758

Without Doubt Probably the best GP buggy in the country.

Fixed that for you 

I was inspired many years ago by Adam Talbots' flip-top GP Mk1 buggy (photo anyone??)

The end of an era, a sad day, but we will win the football on Sunday!!

I found an old French Super VW mag in the garage the other day with the poster of that inside, still intact. Great car.

I feel your pain.
I've had a few callers offering reasonable money for my baja whilst it's been sat rotting away on my drive.
I couldn't sell.

Thought this looked familiar.

Well spotted; very interesting! I put it on Ebay initially for £9600, sold it to him for £11k (July 2021). He's used all my photos & description & only owned it for 2 months!

I wish I had been quicker to see this when you posted it for sale, I would have loved and cherished it for the next 20 years!
