1970 Volkswagen Beach Buggy (recently rebuilt) for sale
Current customer rating: (259 votes ) based onSadly time has some to sell my 1970 Volkswagen Beach Buggy which I have lovingly restored over the last two years at a great deal of expense.
The car originally started out as a VW Beetle and was first modified into a beach buggy in the early 1990's. It then had a cosmetic update in 2005 at which time the owner updated it to look very modern (which I personally didn't like). In the last two years I have stripped the car back down and refitted it with retro parts more in line with the original beach buggies. The car was repainted Porsche RS orange and the wheels and metal work painted black. The modern rally seats were removed and replaced with retrimmed 1970's Porsche 911 Seats with modern inertia seat belts. The rally-style steering wheel and instrument gauges were also replaced with a period steering wheel and original beetle speedo. I had an 123 electronic distributor cap fitted by a local motorsports specialist whilst at the same time setting up the carbs on a rolling road. I have also renewed disks/pads all around (including new front callipers). To give some storage capacity I commissioned a waterproof wooden storage box which has been fitted behind the seats. the box is lockable and has a Bluetooth Car Radio Fitted with speakers.
Barring a major service and tune up carried out 500 miles ago the engine/gearbox and suspension remain pretty much as I bought (see description below)
Engine is Full flowed. 1641. new played with heads. heavy duty springs and lash caps. 110 cam. 5-1 ratio rockers. balanced and lightened bottom end. straight cut timing gears. melling pump. twin DCNF 's . urbo thomas exhaust. serpentine belt and chucking out 70bhp at the wheels. IRS gearbox all solid mounted into semi spaceframed chassis alumnium pans. Porsche 944 turbo rear suspension and brakes. . Porsche cup wheels. The Buggy is registered correctly as Beachbuggy and in it's former guise appeared in the Beachbuggy handbook.
This car is fantastic fun. it looks great. is quick (for a beetle) and attracts a huge amount of attention wherever you go in it. I have spent over £3000 restoring it and now it's ready for someone to just drive and enjoy. What's more . being a 1970 vehicle it is road tax exempt J
