 I may as well be a newbie as I've realised I haven't posted on here since 2015!

I was enjoying the sunny Surrey weather and looked in my garage and have decided I really need to get the buggy sorted this year.  Time to get it out of a 12yr hibernation.

Have ordered a few parts for recommissioning, and will see how it goes.

Welcome back onboard.

Any chance of some images of your buggy from 12 years ago or its present state ?

Sounds like your buggy should be essentially all in place just needing charging the battery, checking the tyres and oil, flushing through the fuel, eyeballing the possibly perished fuel lines and then turning the key...

Wow 12 years in the garage! Great to hear it's coming back out soon. Look forward to seeing some photos.
If its looking a bit dirty you could always post a picture in the monthly challenge as that just happens to be this months theme!

Thanks guys.

It shouldn't be to dirty sorry.
It has been wheeled out and worked on occasionally and moved house with me, just never actually been back on road.
It's got a trickle charge, I'll go through the fuel and lines, change axle boots, then continue where I left off trying to get it running better.

I bet several here have already identified the model despite the cover.

Thanks everyone.
Well I actually cleared the junk from on top of it and dragged it out of garage today.
Swapped axle boots, which took way longer than it should have. That will teach me to mount so much stuff under there.

Excellent news. Any chance of a celebratory snap to prove it is out of your garage and road worthy ?!
