You guys are gonna kill me, but I got it for free. It used to be one of my dad's friends' camper. His parents brought it with them when the immagrated from Germany.We overhauled the engine and resprayed it for him about 7 years ago. He used it twice after that and left it in a barn. The interior is stil intact except for the wood en supports for the top roof. The white top is made out of fibreglass and the rest is all wood. This is a long term project as I have just started my own business as well. Thinking of making it Lambo orange with black porsche rims. Dunno. Any suggestions?

It is licensed and registered. Just got the papers and change of ownership. Starting next weekend fixing it to register it on my name. The previous owner took out the license every year while it was standing in the barn. Bargain.

Might be interested. Any pics and specs on the buggy?
