Hi I have a rather sad Buggy, it s a long horror story about what happened but I promise one day I will make it all better, first I am trying to ID it.  I am not sure what Buggy type it is.  How can I find out the buggy type?

Hello and welcome to the site!

Are you able to post any photos up of it? There's a post here showing how to do so. Once we have seen them, there's a few folks on here or are pretty good at id'ing any buggy or variation of...

If you are struggling, just let us know - we are here to help.

Just out of interest though, are you the person I swapped some tweets with last night on Twitter ( based up n Glasgow?)

Hi

Thank you, I am trying to get some photos off my phone at the moment.  Oh and no I am not in Glasgow and I don't twitter, although I was designing adds for the back of buses in Glasgow today!  Once I have the photos I will try and upload. Thank you.

Welcome to the forum looking forward to seeing the photos. Take a look in the buggypedia section under buggy models that may give you some idea of the make of your buggy ;-)up

Welcome aboard
I use a programme called Dropbox, you can get free space with it and it automatically copies photos from phone to cloud to PC for you
Doesnt suite everyoen but it works for me

Welcome aboard -

Where are you located then, as "Grockle" is a term most definately used down this part of the country (South West) and if so, there are plenty of us down here who may be able to help you

And one he hasn't failed yet!

Another source of info in the meantime is Peters site...  http://www.manxmaniac.co.uk
Basically its a site with lots (and I mean lots) of photos but done as an amazing database - just search under "By design" and many know models are shown alphabetically.

(Sorry about the confusion, there was some one on Twitter the other evening asking the same question about their late fathers buggy)  ;-)up ;-)up
