And another just joined the CNY Buggy Club!, Owner doesn't know anything about the body either.. They must be fairly common.. Just as I start to let it go that I don't know who made it, another one shows up!

Wine is still up for grabs Very Happy

Got one need Samba opinions on.

Thick body Truck kit with ''T" hood.
My neighbor bartered this in a trade... Asked me to get it running... Done.
Not too bad, just needs some TLC.
He wants it sold, so thought I'd help identify it as well.
My finding = Sand Rover T ???

Trying to ID this buggy for a friend. I tried the DAB and looked at ones with ridges on the hood and struck out. Perhaps I overlooked it. Anyone?

So, I sent off to get a pedigree for my buggy. Winnie says that its not a Manx 2 (it has everything but the data plate) and I would like to know what it might or might not be. It has the classic shape, a smooth hood with the shield bump, the box rear and no tubes under the fenders. Its also a flat rear seat (no battery or spare area) and the dash is molded into the hood. It does have a texturing on the dash where the gauges go but the rest is smooth. Any ideas? If you need more pics, LMK

Well, it looks like the manufacturer's markings say "Tidy Cats"...

Everyone is gifted. Some just do not open the package.

Looks like it was painted with a live chicken,polished with a brick and buffed with a pine cone

The ugly tail lights were added by the PO, and possibly the 2 faux raised hood scoops. And the holes in the rear seat was the PO's attempt at installing a rollbar

Any idea??

It is interesting that it has a transmission hump for extra clearance.

Yeah, that extra trans hump seems unusual.

Lookin at buying this buggy. 4 seater on a full length chassis. Going to look at it this weekend and will get better photos. these ones are from about 10 years ago before it was parked. Couldnt find anything in the archives. Any guesses?

Thanks

I think the trans hump is due to this buggy ummmmm inbreeding? When you take a mold from a body the dimensions change slightly, lets say you take a mold from the molded body, now you have compounded the problem - see the film Duplicity (ha-ha). Anyway I think the backend has sagged to the point it was necessary to mold in a clearance. I don't have anything on file for this body style unfortunatly

Here's one I don't recognze. I've seen the hood, but I've never seen a body like this one.
