Built on a 1968 Volkswagen Beetle floor pan this beach buggy is registered as an historic vehicle so no tax required which makes this cheap to own and run.

Engine is quiet and revs freely, clutch and gearbox operate well.

A good looking vehicle with lots of period features, in fact could be described as time warp.

Starts and runs but requires a brake overhaul and attention to the fuel tank which has signs of a small leak. The floor pan is in exceptionally good condition with no sign of any notable corrosion.

Not noticeable unless you zoom in on the bodywork images is that the lacquer has shrunk over time and has produced a surface finish similar to snake skin. I think that this finish is endearing and in keeping with the period and fun intention of the vehicle. Other than that the paint finish is stable and not flaking.

The registration number is DKX 426F, not a Q plate as some buggy's are registered with.

Was purchased with the view of recommissioning as part of a private collection but a change of direction makes it available. Buyer is responsible for collection/uplift.

Now need space in the garage, so no reasonable offer refused

Feel free to ask any questions on anything I may have missed.

Nice looking Buggy - Good luck with your sale

no price ??  Is £250 a reasonable offer ??

If that is the best offer I  get then yes.

I would rather it went to an "genuine" enthusiast, than the local scrap merchant collected it.

 

Can we have a price and location please?

Sorry, location is: Dollar, Scotland FK14 7DE


Fixed  price  £1,000

Bargain!

A gift price and gone to a good home where it will get fettled and used.

Some yellow paint will quickly perk it up.

Always great to see another MantaRay not heading for extinction.

A trip to Scotland with Caroline for an over night collection job then

These 2 things are, I think, mutually exclusive. I'll suggest such if I have a dull moment over the weekend !
