Tube frame sand buggy
Noticed this in a storage yard for an engineering place around the corner from my place.
It's a tube frame buggy with Kingpin front Custom IRS rear with KOMBI? or TYPE 3? Torsion bars I think. Has quite large rear brakes. Are they Kombi?
or Type 3?
Looks to have a lot of surface rust but appears solid underneath. Fibreglass bonnet and roof.
It's a 2 seater and has a 3 rib Kombi box and what he claims is a 1200 engine but it has twin port heads and a dog house cooler so I would suspect
1600cc Minimum. It hasnt been sealed up well and in the elements for what looks like a couple of years under a loose tarp.
Anyway I had a chat to a guy at the yard and he gave me a number for the owner. I had a chat to him, he said it was a project that he started with his
father a while ago. Said he ran out of money before painting it.
He said he might be interested to sell if I made an offer.
Any idea what it's worth? I dont know what I would do with it. It would be cool to have if I wasnt already commited to building my Baja. But if its
going cheap I would like the gearbox and brakes etc.
