Hi my name is Simon put I am known as Mezza.  Bought my first GP short wheelbase at 18 !!!!!! 42 years ago. Had to sell it for a deposit on a house and now at 60 purchases my second GP short wheel base  12 months ago. It's been a journey got smashed up on the way home from Bristol I found out it had NO BRAKES!!!! Eventually got it all repaired but still have a lot of problems I am working on them but would be grateful for advice off you experts. That a long enough hello now I am very pleased to join your club. MEZZA

Great story except for the smashing up bit !!

Glad you're ok and lucky enough to have the opportunity to re enter the fun buggy world.

Let us know where you are and what you think you need and ideas and practical stuff will definitely follow. Hopefully you are near other Buggys and or done if our meeting places - see Cruises section.

Any more period pictures ?

Welcome,
It'll be interesting to see if anyone recognises your old buggy from back in the day.
Hope your little skirmish in the new one hasn't out you off.

Buggies are simple machines to repair get a haynes manual or alike and ask away.
