This charismatic 1973 Volkswagen Beach Buggy is a brilliant example of an iconic concept. The idea of fun beach buggy-type cars has passed through the ages, and this model is a great example that features many desirable upgrades.

First registered as a Volkswagen Beetle, it appears the car was imported into the UK in 1993. It now features a fully open body design, with two COBRA racing seats with a pair of red racing style seat belts and a useful storage space behind the seats. The interior is complete with a small diameter Mountney steering wheel and a CD player. The seats ideally require attention as the cloth is a threadbare in places. A small fire extinguisher also comes with the car.

Passengers don’t have to worry about doors - they simply jump in and go and being left hand drive, it is ideally suited to continental driving, although it won’t take long to get used to this if driving the buggy in the UK.

Finished in a distinctive peppermint green gel coat with silver flakes, it has a multi-colour sparkle when caught by the sunlight and as such cuts quite a look. The period chromed alloy wheels certainly look the part, and they are shod in matching Cooper Cobra branded tyres. KC Daylighter spot lights at the front finish off the look, in addition to the chrome tin wear surrounding the engine.

It appears the buggy has been subject to a front disc brake conversion making it much safer on the roads.

Overall, a super fun vehicle that also has the benefit of a few spare parts plus a replacement chrome petrol tank filler cover.

Don’t miss out !

Please note – the buggy has a CAT C insurance loss marker against it from 1999.
