Description

Forget your usual ubiquitous supercars, there's nothing speaks more fun, freedom and laid back cool than a rare and stunning, classic VW Beach Buggy. Experience those carefree days of the 70's this summer in an epic classic! Okay, buckle up for a run down of this very special vehicle. This is no ordinary, average Beach Buggy by any stretch of the imagination. Unlike most Buggies out there, this beautiful beast was most definitely not cobbled together by some 'Joe' in his garage using any old bits and bobs. No sir. The skilled mechanic who crafted this dream machine, honed his skills most admirably building VW Beach Buggies for decades before creating this stunning 'wish list' Buggy with matching trailer. Registered on a 1955 SWB Beetle chassis. VW Variant 3 (1641cc) engine, recognised as one of the best air cooled engines VW ever built, featuring genuine twin Italian Webbers. Twin bespoke made chrome Ansa exhausts. Sleek, curvy and rare Manta Ray body shell. Widely considered by far the best looking body. Beautiful, highly detailed, high gloss full custom airbrush artwork by Dark Arts. Twin, heavy duty chrome roll bars. Pepper Pot, adjustable, vintage style racing seats. Scat Drag Fast T handle gear stick. Custom made waterproof soft top in lovely condition making this an all weather vehicle. Racing harnesses. Looks cool as hell and sounds like thunder. Only 9000 miles and oodles of history. To say it has been well looked after is an understatement. If you've seen some other buggies close up and then see this fine example, you'll understand. I've tried to reflect this in the photos so feast your eyes. And with the matching custom trailer, you're getting a complete rig, making it perfect for touring and summer vacations. Obviously, it has a few minor blemishes and marks only to be expected on a vehicle this age but nothing significant. Also, please bear in mind, this is not a new modern day vehicle and therefore has it's own special ways to get used to. I've owned this superb buggy for 4 years and it has brought a ton of pleasure to every spring & summer. Serviced each year by a mechanical engineer who cut his teeth on VWs. Historic vehicle so no road tax, super cheap ins & Ulez exempt. Very reluctant sale but needs must. For sale with or without the matching trailer. Car is located in the UK but I can arrange export. Life's too short not to have some rip roaring fun in the sun this summer so call me now before someone else makes this their pride and joy.
