It has been popping up on E bay for months now.
I think it started out at $9,000.
If you have a good look at it and the people in the know will see it is not a genuine Meyers manx.

doesnt really matter what brand if it is a short wheel base and its regd and it looks very nice then it is worth it
lets all do a little exersise and price building one from scratch and see how much you spend i bet you,ll be shocked at what it costs to build
hope you get what you want for it

Be warned.
I have recently purchased a buggy from another state.
I got it for $7,500 but it has cost me another $1,800 getting it here and regoed.
Then found that the motor soon developed a bad nocking noise in it, then the gearbox let go after putting another motor in it.
moral of the story.
Get some one to drive it that knows about vw's before buying it.
I sent someone who knows a lot about japanese cars but jack about vw's.
My Bad on that one

what would be involved in relicicensing this in eastern states. most buggies - especially older builds have no mod or engineering papers/certificates
- other than the licence paper that says vw beachbuggy.
would a swb need to engineer inspected and report provided, traffic inspected etc???? |

Piss easy to get it regoed in NSW, if it has held rego for more than 2 years in WA.
It only needs a weigh bridge ticket to go through blue slip.
I have no engineers reports for the roll cage in mine and it pass with out any dramas
