this ones nearlly complete need a original steering wheel, seats , hardtop got a softtop and a original mtr . great fun buggy go most places ive had a lot of people say its a moke on steriods . gotta love a ugly duckling she grows on you .
It looks original to Me....
Many have had rust repairs done...
and they just cut away the rusted bits.....
its looks great....
those seats will feel much better than originals...
as the originals were very basic....
same as the steering wheel....
plenty of ground clearance at the front....
What did You do for a muffler?
do the outlets come thru the two holes?
VW supposedly made these as cheap as they could to keep the price low... but they put a non beetle steering wheel and muffler... which seems strange to Me...
anyway, a very rare Volkswagen....
Good to see a few are getting back on the road...
and a different colour... as someone noted...

yeah, mine too...
68, the steering wheel was a Kombi one (I think - maybe a pre-Oval Beetle) and the muffler was also VW - old cylindrical ones from the 50s, but two of them mated one to each set of two cylinders
soon as i get a chance fellas i'll compare the wheel arches to my other cb but it looks the same from memory . hasnt got the original exhaust 68 auto theres a stainless exhaust sytem avaliable made to cb specs bit outta my price range going to try and make one myself to suit the outlets . i have a original cb steering wheel its from a earllie kombi . i want to sorce original seats another steering wheel try and keep it as original as i can , the seats in it seam to suit her though and are quiet comfortiable . thanks for the positive coments guys .will try and post the other cb when i get time .
checked the front guards out and the inner lip is all original i think the reason for the great clearence height is because its running front coil over shocks .
geeze guys whats this the country buggy scrutineering page 😂 im tellin ya its all original in there i had a look put my long neck underneath and checked it out hasnt been altered in any way .maybe its a factory mod they where experimenting with the body and mechanicals throughout country buggy development .
no probs byronbus i can understand the interest because of the wheel well height on this cb . ive looked at steves pink cb and a few others including the other complete country buggy i have here and i can see a difference . ive checked underneath examined the panel lip and frabrication and its all standard . maybe i have a one off , im stoked in the clearence this countrybuggy has and with the coil overs hold the front up really well . on level ground the buggy sits level to the ground citing difference from front of the sill to the rear .regards jeff
settle petals no probs at all guys . ive noticed things that are different on other cars as well and ive asked the same questions if you dont ask you wont know , more questions the better that way we are all informed . regards jeff .
hey chris steves pink cb is as original as ive seen as well dont know about the colour though. my other cb has the same guard height as that . keep learning mate thats what its all about will have to show you my jewfish picks one day have a 72 pounder i caught off the rocks at the goldcoast seaway , proudly on my wall now hehehe . if i didnt listen keep my ears open watch and digest as much as i could about catching these elusive fish from the guys that have been there done that id still have no pages in my fishing album . in other words listen learn ask questions we all no your keen your on the right track matey :thumb
anywho...
jewfish are great, grandpa has some funny stories, about catching huge ones, leaving it in the bath tub in the bath room, grandma walking in to this huge fish... u get hte picture.
anywho, were there ever different series to these country buggies? Different features or styles u could purchase (just like a how a bug can have standard or delux)? Maybe ones an import? if they were anywhere else. There are country buggy replica kits made of metal, maybe that perhaps?
if both original, then there must be different models to the buggies.
