Marcs GP LWB Buggy

Marc and Karens pride and joy is up next..
Purchased back in November 2000 as a 'cheer me up' after being made redundant


A GP LWB shell in need of some TLC but was basically sound.
Originally gel coat white but now a black base coat was layed down with purple pearl over the top and finished off with a touch of blue indigo metal flake in the lacquer


The motor is a 1641cc, ignition is sorted by a 009 dizzy and blue coil, fuelling is supplied via a pair of Weber 34ict carbs


The interior has been totally recovered in black vinyl and finished off with black carpet. Wheel and Wink 5 panel mirror courtesy of German Car Company before the closed


ATS Alloys also from GCC, you all have to admit they finish Marcs buggy off a treat


Marc also got many parts custom made by a local engineering company, like these sweet looking pedal covers, also fuel filler amongst many other stainless and alloy parts


Since completing his buggy Marc had added dropped spindles up front and coil overs on the rear giving a cool stance to his buggy, the photo above showing his suspension mods at the Battlesbridge Show
Thanks again for the photos, fantastic looking buggy!
