This is a Flatlands Engineering Dune Buggy, based on a 1973 model Volkswagen 1300 Beetle.

As a Beetle, the car was given away as a prize by Barclays Bank to Lisa Redshaw of Manchester.

It was then used by this lady's daughter, and sometime around 2000, the process of turning the car into a Dune Buggy began.

The job seems to have been completed about 2011, and the vendor purchased it in 2013.

The car has a substantial history file, including an invoice for a new engine in 2002, since when, it seems to have done very little mileage.

There is a letter from Volkswagen confirming the date of build, two letters from Barclays about the prize win, various brochures from Flatland Engineering, quite a few old MoTs, and lots of invoices for parts used in the build.

The car is in very good condition all round, and has an MoT to confirm its roadworthiness, even though it does not require one.

A lot of fun, for not a lot of money.
