What's This Worth ??? (Buggy Content!)
PH LINKY
Not worth anywhere near the £10k asking price (IMHO!), but does look like quite a nice bit of engineering.

first thought was 1 or 2, then remembered i'm a tight northern git and made it 2 or 3.
I haven't looked at the spec.
But .... look at the front top wishbone. I'm no engineer but that doesn't look right to me. I'm also curious why the lower wishbone
appears to have a bolt at the end of the rose joint to the chassis where the top one doesn't.
(thats after a 10 second look)

Not worth what they're asking for it unless it includes all the rights to the design and the assembly tooling. I'd want 4 for that price.

Well if you can get a car for £250, obiously this is how much it would worth 
I would think around the 2-3k margin

If you're looking at Buggies, I'm going to put a Blitz 1 up for sale soon. One running and one ready to be built with LOTS of spares.
Check it out on Google.

i know nothing about the price its pretty basic, but even still there's a lot of work and detail gone into it and quite a lot of very nice
parts.
can't see anything wrong with the wishbones to me

Thanks for the heads up Eddie, but if I was going down the buggy route, then I'd probably want a bike engine... has anyone done this with the
Blitz?

Yeah there was a bike engined one at Stoneleigh on their stand. You can always have my chassis and put a Bike engine in 
Edit: More i think about it, maybe im getting confused with seeing a bike engined Blitz. Unsure now, give them a call. Use to be very helpful!
Who cares if someone else has done it as well :

note the car doesn't have drive shafts.
As for the wishbones - the top wishbones "look" like they're standard locost types, with a hole for the polly bush to sit in. On the
side of this they've welded a tube for the rose joint to sit in. Just seems wrong to my uneducated eye.
You've also got one of the rear shocks going into the side of the tube and sending forces into the engine bay with no triangulation.
The rear upright has some similar rose joint / wishbone concerns.

2-3k tops!
I'm looking at the blitz stuff too. Hoping they might be at Detling or something similar to them for my Range Rover project
Time for a change!

Don't you have a medical condition that stops you getting in a 7 type car never mind the battering you'd take from a buggy???

Was just musing over the asking price of that particular vehicle really... mind you, I wouldn't say never as we live on a farm and my nephew
(lives 100yds away) is getting to the age where something like that would be acceptable.
