I can't seem to get it to work either

It worked a little while ago for me, but doesn't now. Maybe we overloaded it.

Nice looking little Buggy but I don't know what FIAT (Fix It Again Toni?) mechanicals it uses...

David. I like the X Box. That LAM buggy seems to have an engine and gearbox from a front wheel drive car in it, as a complete unit. Hence the bulge in the rear seat space. I've looked into the rear of my buggy and wondered about doing something like that myself, but the re-engineering of the frame, that would be required, has always dismayed me and the local rego rules would be an almost insurmountable hurdle. Hence the popularity of Subaru transplants here.

Pretty substantial air scoops just ahead of the rear wheels

atleast they didn't move the radiator to the hood area. Looks like the hood actually opens too. Found a top-view that reveals alot.

Nice looking buggy. I think I'll stick with Manx buggies and other VW based FG cars.

Its funny, but the more i look at it, the less i like it

the moulding work i think could be improved upon, the trim edge looks, a bit up n down, and the rear end looks like an elephant has sat on it

sharpen up the moulding a bit, a nice set of wheels n tyres and it could look a lot better IMO. Cant see it being any good in the dirt

maybe the new Euro street bug. Place your order here Dave

Too girly girly. Needs some meaty tires and some reshaping on the body squaty rear end. Cool concept. I wish someone would develop a similar chassis using a civic drivetrain or something readily avaiable and cheap to retrofit to our current manx/ manxwannabe bodies. Can you say midengine WRX???? Keep the VW front end for simplicity and cost. MURZ manxwannabe HEHEHE

They asked me to be the UK outlet for them back at the start of the year, but the price tag was very heavy. From memory I think they were about ?11000 plus VAT and shipping which is a hell of a price tag.
