Description
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 Mo
Ts, and lots of invoices for parts used in the build.
The car is in very good condition all round, and has an Mo
T to confirm its roadworthiness.
A lot of fun, for not a lot of money.
