Guys, I have come across this Buggy here in Nairobi but I don't recognise it? Can anyone give me a clue as to what make the body is? The owner says he got the body from Germany, but that info may have been twisted in translation from Swahili! What do you think? These are the only pics I have.

Thanks indeed to the admins for moving it to the correct forum.
I currently have no information on the car at all, I haven’t actually seen it as yet but will get as much as I can when I finally see it next week.

Other than satisfying curiosity, does it really matter? Highly unlikely that the company is still in business. That body looks to be in pretty fair shape, a really good start for a nice Buggy build!
