Hi All,
Decide to put my buggy up for sale possibly? Have to many other big boys toys and this one has been sat in my garage doing nothing for a while unfortunately.
Bought it off another member (biddleboy) Steve in 2009 a couple of months after he IVA'd it. Drove it every summer and modified it every winter until it ended up with some of the following mods; rear disc conversion, front mounted rad, 1380cc metro turbo engine rebuilt / tuned done less than a 1,000 miles, intercooler, poly bushed, 4 point harness etc. - every thing to go and stop faster. Very quick, handles well, pulls all the way +90mph private road of course.
Winter 2012 took it off road as usual and decided to improve the driving position; shortened and moved the gear linkage back, moved the steering column over so now it's straight in front of you, shortened it and fitted a quick release steering wheel so you can still get out! Shortened the pedals to get more leg room. I'm 6ft tall and now my legs don't hit the steering wheel or gear lever and my arms fit inside the car - if you own one you know what I mean.
I then decided to modify the dash; removed the switches, ignition etc. started to build some 'pods' to house speedo and deflect the wind over my head and never finished it.
So to get it back on the road requires dash sorting out, brake master cylinder seals replaced, and final attachment of steering wheel - it's all there.
Price?? With the turbo engine £3500, with orignal 998cc engine (99% complete / not fitted obviously) £2500.
I'm in no rush to sell, won't sell turbo engine and all ancillaries separately until buggy is sold. Located Tewkesbury (M5 Junc9). Any questions and pictures just ask. Shaun
