I just looked at The Wayne Horsfall buggy site and just wondering if anyone had one of his buggies.
I'm looking at importing a buggy from the states and saw his prices and thought they were good . it would be nicer to get a good quality new buggy from oz.
Just wanting to know what the quality is like. Any help would be appreciated thanks

$$$$ are high, but the quality of workmanship is excellent :thumb

I know the guy who owns the red one on his cover page, very very happy with it.

Wayne is doing the pan for my J&S buggy.:thumb

I'm not interested in brads buggy because its know here in oz.
I want to have one customed to my flavour or import something.either way no one will have seen it on the streets.
I think brads buggy is close to the mark in price.

I think brads buggy is close to the mark in price. Maybe not 15k, but 13-14k sounds about right for that quality of buggy.

I reckon your right Graham, $15,000 is cheap for a buggy ready to drive for the work it takes to create the final product. A quality completed irs pan is valued at around $3000.00 on its own. (depending on quality)
good luck clarkey.

I think you will find Brads cheap at $15000, you will see when you try to build one.

Yeah
looking around the 18k for new or imported.
I can get a new vegas buggy turnkey in RHD landed in oz for close to 13k with all the chrome and powdercoated bits and 2110cc motor.thats through a friends import business but it won't be ready for when i go over to the states in May.

Sounds good :thumb
sell the 2110cc as it is to large an engine capacity to be regoed in NSW (for new rego buggies), fit side intrusion bars, fit a padded dash, fit Aus approved seat belts, install seats that have two locking mechanisms,fit sunvisors,side and windsreen rear vision mirrors, demister, seatbelt warning light, side indicators, middle brake light , wheel sizes that comply (safety rims), RTA approved rear cage and then have the whole car fully engineered !!!!😀
Unless this is already included ??

I like your idea, just do all the research so you don't end up loosing your hair over it 😉



P.S the more I learn about what's in Brads buggy, the more I realise it is not just another raised Manx :o

It was 64VW who said that not VW0064.

Anyway of course $15 000 is to much to pay for a buggy. I mean who would spend that much when they can spend much more and build a Mega Manx :P

In order to attempt to help people understand what goes into building a tough buggy I have added some text to my Buggy in the Members Rides area. Nothing to details just a quick overview of what my fibreglass and tin actually is.
