I am seriously considering purchasing the Buggy shown but would obviously likely to know exactly what it is!
Could anyone out there possibly throw some light on this as I don't seem to be able to find an exact match in the A-Z listing?
Thankyou

check out the
Martin Enterprises in the buggy ID section

You should be able to match the characteristics better. Pictures you have make it hard for me.

Many thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I am going by the sellers photos but could post a few more if you can help me out?

By Michael B 4703 Date 2016-05-18 21:04

Strangely enough, it appears very similar to that advertised at the bottom of the forum page?

Anyway, here's all the photos I currently have, not brilliant resolution I realise.

Shall post some much better quality all-round shots should I buy the Buggy (very likely due to it's condition). Thanks again for paying interest.

Michael, If you are overseas, it could be one that was manufactured there. It may not be in our ID section.

You can look through this link and see if you can find it.

Lloyd, thank you for your attention to this matter, it's been driving me nuts! I am in the UK and have found the following example, even the same year. It's got horrible rear lights but do you think it may be the beast I'm looking for? It's called a 'Fibre Rat'

By Michael B 4703 Date 2016-05-19 05:59

Actually a 'Fibre Fab' sorry. I say it's the same year, but the pictures are obviously not of exactly the same year, one of which however, the 1971 J-plate is the year of the one I'm considering. It does have quite distinctive lines. If you could, please let me know what you think.

Best Regards,

Michael

Similar, however I do not see the small lights that the one you are looking at has on the front at the bottom edge of the fenders. I like the looks of it, no matter.
