The Appeal
An icon of the “swinging sixties”, and pioneered by Californian engineer Bruce Meyers, the beach buggy took the then-ubiquitous Volkswagen Beetle and turned it into a fun off-road toy, perfect for driving on sand. There have been numerous subsequent interpretations of the beach buggy, most adhering loosely to Meyers’ original design although this one is a little different.
The vendor informs us that this buggy was built in Europe, utilising the underpinnings of a 1600 Beetle. It’s in very good condition for its age and comes with a valid ITV technical inspection. The vendor reports that it runs beautifully and is great fun to drive. Don’t miss this great opportunity to acquire a classic you’re bound to enjoy.
