Beach Buggy in QLD

This street buggy project is almost finished.

Surely one of the hottest looking beach buggies in Australia. The paint colour is absolutely brilliant when seen with the naked eye!

Built with elegant simplicity all the way through. the engineering is clean and tidy.

Originally built 7 years ago. registered in South Australia only for a few weeks before I purchased it from the builder and freighted the car to QLD.

Unfortunately I then stored the car for 7 years due to a baby coming along. followed by a business. only now have I completed some jobs around the car in preparation to be registered here (washers. horn. side indicators etc).

I urgently need funds to start a new business. so even though I'm selling unregistered. 99% of the work is already done. you might just need to do a few more simple things like mudflaps and stock wheels to pass the inspection.

And your reward for finalising the registration process… I'm conservatively guessing that the car would be worth another $5000 more than my current asking price. I simply don't have the time to do it. but I'll definitely find the time… if nobody takes the car off my hands at this price for a quick sale.

Lumpy idle “harley” sound with those short straight pipes. Steering wheel is a perfect size for the car.

Short throw shifter. tight and precise… good slot feeling.

Brakes are drum all around but the car is so unbelievably light that it stops perfectly.

I'm selling to help fund a monster deck at mount glorious to be hired out as a wedding venue. gloriouslookout. com. au and is already under construction.

If you are thinking about building a buggy for the street. don't waste 12 months of your time. pick this one up for a fraction of the cost of having it built for you.
