THE FUNBUGGIES FREESTYLE KIT CAR IS A 'GO ANYWHERE' VEHICLE WITH 3 MAIN AIMS:- |
 |
1. An inexpensive kit car that any DIY enthusiast can put together.
2. A vehicle that will tackle the roughest of terrain, yet still be useable for everyday road use.
3. The kit must be able to be as individual as the owner yet pass the current SVA test
Funbuggies are able to offer all of the above in a choice of starter kits and an accessory range that is constantly growing. The Funbuggies freestyle chassis is a fully welded, pre-drilled, steel chassis with plasma cut bulk heads and pedal box area with integral roll cage and inboard suspension. The donor vehicle is the Austin Mini due to the vast amount of cheap donors available and the simple design of the complete front subframe housing the suspension, brakes, engine and gearbox in one unit that simply bolts onto the rear of the Funbuggies freestyle chassis.
Funbuggies have taken the Funbuggies freestyle for a full manufacturers SVA consultation (single vehicle approval) before the development of the finalised chassis and with one of the SVA kits on offer the Funbuggies freestyle will pass the current SVA test.
th the Funbuggies freestyle weighing in at only 460 kilos and SVA built cars weighing in at 520 kilos plus (depending on panel options), the fitting of a 1275cc Mini engine gives a power to weight ratio greater than most hot hatches on the road!
However, off road is where the Funbuggies freestyle excels itself, with its light weight, low centre of gravity, totally flat floor, inboard suspension and a wheel on each corner. The Funbuggiesfreestyle is virtually unrollable, tackling the most severe of inclines, jumps, quarries and bogs.
Funbuggies are doing a lot of off road testing in quarries and 4 X 4 test tracks leading to developments of under protection shields, better mud protection and rear impact protection.
A a Landrover Owners Club off road day, the Funbuggies freestyle excelled in climbing a 100 foot quarry wall in the rain and a seriously muddy terrain and even the Landrover's where failing to complete the climb, turn and decent!
With off road kits starting at just £695.00 + VAT, the Funbuggies freestyle could be just the thing you've been looking for, for you old Mini or those spare summer evenings! Funbuggies are at present looking for an off road venue to hold Funbuggies freestyle challenge days which we will keep owners notified on, but in the meantime to arrange a test drive simply contact Funbuggies for a time that suits you. |
