Hi all, Great to meet some of you last night at The Ace Cafe In London (Lots of Bug's turned out!)!

Quick potted history, we bought a brand new GP2 (Super Buggy long wheel base) Kit in 1987 (when I was 19!) with a good friend (I think it was about £1500 then, which was a lot of £££s for us at that age!) and we also bought a crashed 1974 VW beetle that had a sound underneath as the doner car (toed it back from Reading  ).
It took us 2 years to build the 'Bug' (In a barn on a farm!), we had amazing fun for a few years in it, then I sold my share to my friend to get £££s to get married!.
After that he stored the bug for a lot of years (back on the farm!) and a long story later!!... I got it back about 2 years ago (30 years later!)... so the Buggy fun all started again...!
Ive been restoring/upgrading and it's had lots of outings this year with the family 
We live in Tylers Green (Penn, Bucks). We hope to come to some of the (Sunny!) events ongoing. Nice to be on the forum
Kind regards all, Shaun & Cathy.
I know you all like Pics.. so there are some below + a couple from the Ace Cafe last night.






An 'Ace' night.. at The 'Ace' Cafe...

Lots of Bugs on display!

Hello and welcome!

I'm loving the 'Alpine' side pods/scoops...

Hello

Welcome to the Forum 

We do indeed love to see pictures on here - thanks for sharing 

Welcome aboard 

Great back story and great looking buggy.

Look forward to seeing you and it at future meetings.

Welcome . Nice buggy and pics, one. GP 2 Deb. Hope you enjoy the forum

Welcome to the forum! Really sorry didn't get a chance say hello last night (Im the one with the low screen sidewinder blue flake parked near the main entrance to the Ace.


Anyway, folks, this buggy looked great, it really looked like it had come straight from the 1970s (well early 80's may be)


And bizarrely the thing I really loved was the original GP contact details sticker on the back - loved period piece (I assume its original?)

Thanks for all the 'welcomes' and 'hello's' everyone, much apprciated.
Hi Andy, thanks for your comments and yes the sticker on the back with the address (and the GP sticker on the front) are the originals that have always been there 

Loved your blue flake sidewinder BTW.

Cheers all!
