A 1954 Oval got converted.... 

In a Garage far far away...

What happened to the moustache lol

the 70's those were the days chopping up oval and split screen beetles to make buggies and baja's, these days they are too collectable.

Wouldn't dream of doing that now!

Crikey indeed Peter!!!!!!!

Ooops... 

Erm  I hadn't been born... 

It looked like a great Manta Ray 

Whatever happened to it? 

It was a fab buggy and my pride and joy 

I let my 'Twin' brother have it......, it got written off on the bridge going to Hever..... 

Its a blind summit and motor bike hit it head on as he cleared the apex..... Coming the other way 

I was 5 !! just starting school !

loving the tash though Peter, think for NEWS we should all grow one in your honour !!?

Those wheels look brilliant on the back... I like the spot light at the back too!

Don't be so silly Dan................ 

It went through many changes, but was really nice when the type3 1600 twin carb Variant engine
came along.

I think the type3 really suits the stark straight edges of the Manta Ray, it was a good era although
long ago, and somehow it lives inside you for the rest of your life

They were great times
