Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This is a metallic red Dune Buggy built on a 1971 Volkswagen Beetle platform. It has a very low indicated mileage that may not be accurate, and the color on the V5C needs to be updated. Sold as seen, the car is MoT-exempt as a historic vehicle.

Condition 

5

The car's condition is difficult to assess precisely due to the limited information and the nature of the vehicle (a converted buggy). The mileage is suspiciously low, and the car is sold as seen with no warranty. The need to amend the V5C for the color also suggests potential issues.

This metallic red Dune Buggy uses the platform of a 1971 1285 cc Volkswagen Beetle, registered in July 1971.

Six registered keepers overall are noted on the V5C.

As an historic vehicle, the VW is now MoT-exempt; there's no record of the VW having had one back to 2005, when online records began.

The odometer shows 19 miles, which may well be the total since the Beetle was converted into a Buggy, although there is no paperwork to support this.

Documentation includes the V5C green slip, wiring diagrams and assorted bills from recent years.

The V5C states the vehicle is beige - presumably the colour of the original Beetle - so this will need to be amended with the DVLA.

Notice to Buyers: Please be aware that all vehicles are sold as seen and without any warranty implied or given.

You must satisfy yourself as to a vehicle's description and condition before you decide to bid.

We recommend that you inspect the vehicle in person during the general viewing days held prior to the auction...
