My buggy is registered here already.
Sadly, after trying all avenues, i am forced to sell my beloved buggy.

A rare RAT Mki with og sidepods.
Vehicle is SORNed. No MOT.
V5 states VW Beach Buggy
LWB.

The catch is the buyer will have to collect from Germany.

Im willing to split the cost of transporting it back to the UK.

The sale does not include the engine or the wheels.

This is a great example of an early british made buggy shell as it has not had the headlight area cut away.

All receipts are available, past UK MOT certs.

Selling because according to German authorities, the body was never imported to Germany and has no certificates for fire / safety.

She needs some work to get her back on the road, but nothing huge needs doing.

Comes with disk brake drop spindles, teflon kit for the front axle, and a bunch of other bits n pieces.

Im asking £2k.

Really sad to have to let this go, but posting it here first in the hope an enthuisiast will save her and get her back on thenroad where she belongs.

Any questions please just ask.

Where about in Germany as it is a big country and will help prospective buyers work out the logistics and cost

The engine that is.

A bit more about the car.
1969 chassis
10 point roll cage
Wheels are wolfrace slotmag
8.5x15
7x15
No dings whatsoever
Also a spare set if 14x6 in 130pcd for the front, but they need cleaning.

Engine is a type 4 1.7l early W code block, so ex d-jetronic
Block has been milled for Porsche fan unit which is included
Dellorto 36 carbs that have been cleaned and rebuilt, new o rings, new pump diaphrams, whatever needed replacing has been.

Engine needs a rebuild, hence why its in bits. Im fine with not including it in the sale.

So, just the chassis and body 2k.
With the wheels 3k
With engine 3.8k

No interest?  :(

Price is negotiable as I need this gone to make way for a project i can actually drive here in Germany.

Perhaps i should post it in the Facebook group instead?

You may get more of a global audience on FB if Germany says no will any other EU country allow registration?

Anyway, an original manx body isnt an issue in Germany as its got all the certification and approval from TüV that it needs. Thats not the case for my RAT and is the only reason i cant get it on the road here.

That is interesting I guess that is from the Portuguese body manufacturers production certification for a full buggy build not just the body.
