On a rare sunny and warm February day Dad got the beach buggy out of it’s garage. It’s still gleaming in it’s raspberry red flake finish and huge chrome wheels.

The car was converted from a scrap beetle in 1989, we went to Basingstoke to collect the body kit from the maker, not sure what sort of model it is or exactly what the beetle donor car was.

Looking at the engine it’s a twin port, looks like an old T2 engine. I think Dad made the roll cage and the engine cage. There is a wet weather hood for it too, just in case.
