My Custom Built BeachBuggy

1972 VW Beach Buggy, 2004 Project, 1972 (old uk) K plate.....

This is a true ONLY ONE IN THE UK..... Probable the World..... The list is endless with mods and extras, never seen before not only on a Beach Buggy but even any Kit Car....

* 1641cc New Engine, 45miles (at time of advert)
* Dual Twin 44 Webber Carbs
* Bobcat 4to1 Exhaust (very loud, no silencer)
* Electronic point system (pertronix, plus flamer thrower coil and increased spark plug gaps)
* Pertronix HT Leads
* Fully Chromed and Colour Coded Engine
* 12v and Unleaded
* Electric facet Fuel Pump, regulated, 8mm fuel pipe

* 2+2 Seating, Large Fuel Tank converted to rear of Buggy
* Front Recaro seats, Drivers Electric, Black Leather, Alcantara red centres
* 3 Point Colour Coded Harnesses
* Carpeted, Full colour coded Interior, Red and Black...
* Custom Dash
* Steering Wheel Arm Indicators and wipers
* Momo Alcantara steering Wheel
* Air Horns
* Full Talking Alarm System, with Microwave detection system, Pager and immobiliser
* Full set of Smiths Telemetrix Clocks (same as TVR) �400 for these alone
* CHIPPED XBOX SYSTEM, INCLUDING LOTS OF GAMES, PORN, MOVIES AND MUSIC, REMOTE AND FRONT SCREEN
* 4x Infinity Speakers, Twister amp and Twister Sub with Power Cab, all colour coded to car
* Custom Front Bonnet to Show Sound system.... Only 1 Ever Made

* NO IGNITION BARREL, IGNITION SWITCHED ON/OFF VIA TOUCH PAD CODE... WITH THIS AMOUNT OF SECURITY NO ONE CAN STEEL IT, ALL CUSTOM BUILT SO NOT EVEN A PROFESSIONAL WILL KNOW A BACK DOOR

* Big Foot Pedal
* Quick shift, Short Shifter, 1inch between 1st and 2nd
* Arming Switches for 4ft Flamer Kit and NOS (as yet to be fitted)

* Full sand blast and respray on every item reused, 12inch Chassis cut
* ALL NEW Items, list this doesn't include but was stripped, shot blasted and resprayed, Chassis, Gearbox, Front Torsion Section and Steering
* Harley Davidson Indicators
* Harley Davidson Front Lights
* Ford Popular Rear Lights

* 325/60/15 Bf Goodrich AT Baja Rear Tyres
* 235/60/15 BF Goodrich AT Baja Front Tyres
* Chrome 8 Spoke Deep Dish Alloys, Chrome Centre caps, and Wheel Nuts
* Front Disc Brakes
* Coil Over Shocks all round, Coloured Coded to Beach Buggy

* Under car Multifunction LED Neon's Colour Coded to Car

This car has been built over the last 2 years, every item has been striped and rebuilt, Short Blasted and resprayed to match the Beach Buggy. Everything has been uprated or replaced.... Mileage is to and from MOT Garage, and a Local Dry weather driving.
A lot of attention to detail and thought has gone into the build of this Beach Buggy, As you can see from the List above that not only is it a High Spec Beach Buggy That's sounds great, goes fast, but has even more then you'd expect from even a Normal Car.

The Body is one from JAS speed Kits, I have had nothing but attention the moment it was on the road, if you don't want attention get a Fiesta... Being a Custom car and Beetle based means the Insurance for any aged driver is cheap, fully comp for myself with no no claims and at 23 is �400.
It does approximately 25 mpg, but will get better the more it gets driven, being a new engine...
