Points needing addressed;
New installed shortened handbrake cables, they still need stretched a bit as not holding fully, just not getting any driving miles on the buggy yet
New shortened clutch cable not installed as yet, currently fitted is just a cut down original, it works fine
Small oil drip / leak under neath, they all leak, but being upfront and honest
Buggy runs excellent, starts first time - no choke so needs a few mins warm up on cold starts
Don’t expect a modern drive, Beach buggy’s are lots and lots of fun but bouncy shaky and hard suspension on the roads , that’s the character of them
Based in Northern Ireland about an hour from the Docks
Registered as a Beetle as most of them are but insurance still accepts as Beach Buggy , £112 fully comp insurance
