Every inch of this car has been touched and has been tastefully modified into a unique one of a kind Volkswagen beach buggy.

yes i have been busy putting the car on carsales
not sure where u were going with that one. as far as the price goes, the short wheeler/ 2 seaters generally range between $25k and $35k.....depending on work done, also keeping in mind the fact that a short wheel base beach buggy can no longer be registered even if they have been registered previously. hence why i have paid rego for the 7 years it has been off the road and why there are very few registered 2 seater SWB buggies left. thanks for your input though bud, your opinion is your opinion. This car is more of a lifestyle, and the person that buys it is the type of person that is chasing that lifestyle.
