1972 Volkswagen Beach Buggy | Raunds, Northamptonshire

A 1972 Volkswagen beach buggy, the open, lightweight Beetle-based car that grew out of 1960s dune driving. Buggies of this type generally carry an air-cooled engine at the rear, with a fibreglass body, high arches and broad tyres that give them a cheerful, off-road stance. This one is green with a black interior, and its condition is excellent. DVLA records it as an FF Buggies build, first registered in September 1972, with a 1300cc petrol engine. It seats four, and the open cabin keeps everyone on board in clear view. The open cabin and bright green body work well for sunny advertising, fashion and lifestyle shoots and music videos. The early-1970s buggy shape sits comfortably on period film and TV sets and at summer or beach-themed events. A summer wedding arrival or a birthday outing suits it too. The car is based in Raunds, Northamptonshire.
