Oh, can any of you experts cast any light on the bonnet?

It has never had the recess for the GP/VW badge, there is no evidence of it being ever filled in either. Also the reg plate recess looks a little different!

Cheers!

Im not sure what you mean Ian.  From the pic it looks like your bonnet has a a round recess at the front. Like mine.

the early GP shell was copied/cloned by quite a few manufacturers in the buggy boom years so not all GP's may be GP' moulded.  You have a nice period buggy there.

Me thinks you are looking at Steeley's buggy photo, not Ians.

QuoteCant beat a original Gp1 imho but then I,m probably a bit biased

Steeley

Not biased at all, the GP Mk1 is in my opinion THE number 1 buggy ever to be seen on the streets of the UK
