Welcome onboard Tony.
Plenty on here will identify that - my guess is a GP that could be rebuilt to look traditional but await the wise ones!
Hope to see you at a gathering.
Oh and a great base colour !
Welcome to the world of buggies Denise may have a screen in a few months unless it goes into her garden water feature with the old shell. The new body fit is aimed at for feb 23.
Thanks guys any useful links I need to know about
Hi Tony and welcome.
Your buggy is a GP Beach Buggy, a Mk2 which originally had the screen frame moulded into the bonnet. Unfortunately it looks like yours may have been sawn off so you may end up looking for a replacement bonnet and screen. You may want to try Volksmagic in Birmingham, they break VWs and may have something, also Kingfisher in Birmingham but I've never had much luck with them.
Your screen and surround would have looked like this.

I have the surround was in car I'm fibreglassing it back together as we speak just need glass

Welcome aboard - Good to see another build underway ;-)up
Good. Any decent autoglass place will cut and fit a piece of flat laminated glass to suit. A plant or agricultural glass firm will probably be cheapest.
These sidepods will come closest to fitting but any will probably need a bit of fetling.

Tony I thought of saying Gordon's was a project - or work in progress - but then decided I'd just post an image instead !
