Dune buggies are pretty neat, sand rails are fairly mental. This one I like.

Nice. I remember my neighbour had a purple with gold speckled paint job VW buggy in the late 70's.

Love Sand Rails - my plan is to design and build one, one day. Just need a Beetle to dissect.
Thanks for posting.

Lots of love for Buggies/Rails with me, something I would like to own at some point. Not sure how it would do on the dunes but it looks well :-) Kudos Jimi owned one too :-) VW Type 197, otherwise known as the 'Country Buggy', made for the Australian market Tamiya's offering

Now I'm not averse to a bit of danger but this looks like a very scary vehicle! Did anyone ever sit in that rear seated when the throttle pedal was buried to the floor and not soil themselves? Fantastic!

Some truly amazing creations in here. Wonder if a spitfire could be a base for a UK version of a "water pumper"...?
