Ollies GP mk 1 SWB Buggy

Next up is Ollies GP mark 1, a full rebuild taking 10 months to complete and the majority of the work carried out by himself..


Lots of fiberglass work including widening the bonnet to take a wider Manx style windscreen and a full respray in a luscious looking purple flake


Wheel wise the buggy is rolling along on chrome jackman rims, 8" rears with 275/50/15 cooper rubber and 6" fronts with 205/50/15 also wrapped in Cooper rubber


A custom interior featuring fully trimmed fiberglass buggy buckets and home made side panels to match the rest of the interior, topped off with a Grant wheel and a custom made roll bar

Powered by a type 1 1641cc engine dressed in chrome, the fueling is sorted by a pair of 40mm Kadrons


A fantastic job I'm sure you'll all agree, fab buggy!
