1971 Volkswagen Beach Buggy | Ashford, Kent

A 1971 Volkswagen beach buggy is a Beetle-based fun car, usually built by an independent kit maker rather than by Volkswagen. The type grew from Bruce Meyers's 1964 Manx design and is known and liked for its light, open, uncomplicated character. Its high arches and broad tyres give it a recreational, beach-ready stance. This car is Yellow with a black interior, a bright body against dark seats that reads clearly in photographs. It seats two, and the open cabin keeps both people in full view. Its condition is fair. The buggy suits period film and TV, and music videos that need a 1960s-70s silhouette. Photography and fashion shoots get strong colour and an open frame around the subject, and summer events and beach-themed displays suit its recreational character. A fair-weather wedding arrival or a short scenic hire also works well. The car is based in Ashford, Kent.
