Description Volksrod 1,600cc Beach Buggy; fantastically detailed build; superb attention to detail; the ultimate summer fun; icon of freedom and fun; yes, its the summer of 1976! First registered as a 1300 VW Beetle De Luxe in May 1972 and then built as a GP Beach Buggy in 1985 and inspected by the DVLA.

In 2013 a major rebuild commenced and the new Volksrod body was fitted along with many parts that are fully detailed in chronological order in the vehicle’s history file.

The current owner, a fantastically talented and skilled chap with an eye for detail then purchased the buggy in November 2023 and set about creating the beautiful masterpiece you’re now reading about.

With no deadline and working for pure enjoyment, we are sure you will agree that his results are stunning.

The same level of care and detail has been taken to compile a fantastic history file that hopefully the new owner will keep updated for the many years of fun this wonderfully fun vehicle will no doubt give.
