2 rat buggies what are they

The white buggy I was told about several years ago.It was lying in the backyard on a property that was owned by a mechanic.It took me a while to track it down and after a few cold ice-breakers we came to an agreement.He told me he had bought the buggy body brand new from South Australia 20 years ago and brought it up to Queensland when he moved here.The body has not been touched or tampered with in any way and is brand new as if bought from the factory yesterday. The moss and licheon adding to the rat look which I paid no extra for. The second buggy body I also found in a backyard when I was purchasing a 2lt Kombi motor. It was apparantly used for racing or competition as it has a full dash of 70/80 era gauges and other racing mods.It came complete but no motor including original hard top. From looking at the photos of the Murry Car Show is this the same bodys as the black buggy pictured in the show.Please give me some feed if anyone can help in identifying these 2 buggy bodies, where they were made?who made them? and are they being made new today cheers bugbrained

Thats a shame!

i know what you mean about not having enough time to finish your own projects. They can be very time consuming.
Good luck with it.
