1959 VW Beach Buggy
Lot Number: 455
Result inc Premium: £7,236
- V5 Present
- Chassis number: U0495169
Thanks to the sheer numbers of beach and dune buggy designs that have appeared over the years, it can be difficult to tell from which company a particular version originated. However, the owner believes this one to be a GP1 short wheelbase model, based on the chassis and mechanicals of a 1959 Volkswagen Beetle, with a 1.3‑litre engine.
This striking metallic green buggy, with light beige interior, was registered in the UK in 1984 ‑ although it's unclear if this is when it was built or if it was previously used abroad ‑ and 17 former keepers are recorded since its British registration. The history file includes the current V5C and several 2013 receipts from specialist VW Heritage.
