EXTERIOR
Amazing. This Kellison Beach Buggy was entrusted to Tye Miller from The Fast Lane paint shop in Klamath Falls. Oregon and was designed and painted by this renown custom designer. Finished in Viper Red with real flames and green skull then drenched in four coats of clear lacquer at a cost of $7075 (£4. 50) the quality of the finish is tremendous. Expensive chrome detailing with a ‘skull' accent adds a further dimension to an already fascinating vehicle. A tailored made removable bikini top with a matching green skull sewn into the centre helps keep the occupants dry in poor weather. Quality workmanship enables both crowd pleasing classic car exhibiting or fun outings out.

INTERIOR
A matching customised interior finished to a very high standard will please the driver and passenger alike. Full black leather seats with red piping have two detailed skulls on the backrests and full black carpeting adds to the professional build. A full complement of gauges inserted within the Viper Red console also houses the sound system with weatherised speakers. Chrome detailing throughout helps reveal the ‘no budget' build mentality this Dune Buggy has enjoyed.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Fortunately the rear mounted air cooled engine has been built by world famous Scudders Performance at a cost of $3321 (£2035) so the 1641 dual-port power plant has the go to match the show! The chrome RX dual exit exhaust emits an intoxicating roar which is immense fun. An Empi short throw shifter is mated to a four-speed gearbox which has a heavy duty clutch and pressure plate offering precise changes.

WHEELS. TYRES & BRAKES
Immaculate Slot Eagle Alloys have a polished mirror finish and are shod in quality 215/60 R15 front and wide 275/60 R15 rear tyres. The tread pattern is predominantly for road use but mild off-road use is also possible. Drum brakes all-round confidently bring this light weight Buggy to a halt

HISTORY FILE
A labour of love is the best phrase that can be used to describe this creation. Sourced by Rick McMahon of Klamath Falls. Oregon. United States to fuel his VW custom passion. The rare Kellison design was a must for him to form the basis of a painstaking creation that cost thousands of Dollars in parts and time with invoices and photos to prove. Once complete it attended many shows with himself and his wife enjoying the praise and occasional award for their efforts! After six fun years of ownership the vehicle was snapped up in March 2011 by the only UK owner. Mr Wilcock. in search of the ultimate VW Beach Buggy taking pride of place amongst a VW only classic car collection. Never used by him so now available for a lucky new owner. Full documentation to UK register included and gladly carried out on behalf of the new owner should they wish.

MOT March 2014. Tax exempt and Approved Used Car Check.
