The Appeal
This 1970 MkII Manta Ray Beach Buggy is a unique vehicle if ever there was one. Its design, based on the Dean Jeffries Kyote (Mantaray), is one of the most distinctive among UK buggies of its time.
This particular example is finished in a custom flake of Canadian Blue and Brilliant Royal Blue, which we're sure will contrast beautifully against the golden sands when it's in its home environment. It's a fantastic little buggy that's sure to provide plenty of fun for any avid beachcomber.
