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!

VW NorthWest

Tatton Park Last Sunday saw a nice turnout of buggies, I didn't go in mine because it was lashing down when I left, unfortunately (for me) it turned out to be nice weather in the afternoon. I met up with a few of the lads who constantly teased me about not coming in my buggy, I also forgot my camera so a big thanks for Shilly loaning me his. Below are a few photos I took..

Lees SWB Manx

Sorry for lack of updates but I've been away on my hols =)

Anyways.. here is the next installment on my blog..

Lees SWB Manx in Sea Spray metal flake

Torque Thrust look the business, complimented with Cooper Cobra rubber

A nicely detailed 1670cc motor fed by twin 32s push this buggy along

It has a custom made hoop linked to another under the dash which are tied together by hidden bars that run behind the side pods. This system stiffens the whole car and helps illiminate scuttle shake. The steering column is also mounted to it.

The buggy was built for Lee by Mark at http://www.flatlandsengineering.co.uk

Fab looking buggy!
