looks like a butchered country buggy done up as a moke.:o

Headlights look like early mini /moke. Taillight holes look like EJ Holden. Might be someones homebuilt special

That is certainly unique. I think that someone has Moked a Country Buggy. It would be a good project for someone. When finished it would be a very unusual car. I don't find it to be offensive and I'd like to see it when it's restored.

I'm enjoying the comments from the experts.

It's not a country buggy, certainly not a thing.

It's home made, looks like it's very well made. Just a pity someone is going to grab it thinking it's a "RARE" VW, when it nothing but a contraption.

You'll notice the bidding has come to a grinding halt too!

ponybeetle - September 21st, 2007 at 06:16 AM

now their saying it's an "american THING" or a "type 2 KUMBELWAGEN".. :lol::lol::lol:

It worth money still as the floor pan is pre 55.
steering wheel(batwing) ,brakes ,pan, straight shifter,smiths rally pack fitted to speedo pod.
All hard to get these days.

The second gauge is a fuel/temp/amp meter from a CA Bedford, drove one for years.
You'll find the tail lights woulds have been TK Bedford. Same shape as the EJ but different bolt on pattern.

the front looks like a moke...

so someone who liked the look of the Moke
also liked Volkswagens and made this "thing"

It would be interesting to know what year it was actually made...

There were No Country buggies or Mokes in 1955

maybe it was made in the late 60s..
those Lucas gauges were in Morris Minors, Morris Majors, Austin Lancers etc... they were used in Many UK based cars with Lucas equiptment..

interesting about the Bedford tail lamps...
I always thought they were from the EJ Holdens...

Could be spook but I'm sure its the smiths pack which was fitted to early oval beetles.

don't think its Lucus 68Autobug, but I could be wrong.
