Realised I am already registered from six years ago when I came to set an account up but have never posted. 🤦�♂️

 After an 18 year break I have just bought another buggy. Picked it up from marketplace a few weeks ago and very happy with it. Obvs need to make it mine and spend some money on it 😬

 I'm in Exeter if anyone is locallish.

Thanks for having me

Cheers Dave. Looking at the paperwork a chap called Terry Harris from Paignton sold it in 2007.
  I'm out most weekends if you are going to Trago in a few weeks.

Good to have your post.

Lovely clean and tidy looking buggy.

What do want to spend money on to make it yours ?

You know what it's like Hugh, you buy something new with nothing wrong with it then still change it because it's not what you wanted  :-[

 Set of new tyres of differing profiles and a set of banded steels coming very soon to replace the chromes. Also the dash is too modern/busy for me so going back to a single beetle clock I think.

The dash on Dod's buggy looks to be the same as yours, it wouldn't take a great deal of fibreglass work to fit a standard speedo/fuel gauge.
