The Appeal
The Deserter GT represents a slice of carefree 1970s motoring culture, when beach buggies epitomised fun, freedom, and individuality. These lightweight, characterful machines have long attracted enthusiasts, and at the base of many buggies is, of course, the legendary Volkswagen Beetle.
This one, converted from a 1970 Beetle, is a grand ambassador for exactly that. Beautifully kept and very original. We're told that all maintenance intervals have been completed, and the buggy is immediately ready to drive with everything functioning as it should. To provide additional peace of mind, a service and inspection will be carried out upon sale.
Suitable for enthusiasts, collectors, or individualists seeking something distinctive, this Deserter GT offers an opportunity to own a well-maintained example of these increasingly sought-after dune-divers.
