Rollason's Buggy is awesome. I drove it when i did the photo shoot all those years ago. It's still owned by Gary and is, I understand, for sale...  Smiley

Ah, this is obviously some strange usage of the word 'awesome' that I wasn't previously aware of.

Ahhh, ha hah ha  Cheesy

All fine and dandy but I`m talking CAL LOOK buggies. One of my all time favorite was in Hot VW`s I`d say in the early 80`s. It was a black Manx with skinny Centerlines, 185 and 135`s, an 1835, IDA`s, herculaon seats and polished aluminum side panels. It had a shorty windshield too. Maybe someone can find it and scan it up here. It would take me forever to find in my collection.

That would be John Fawley's from DVB,  He also owned Mark Hunsaker's '66 in the mid 80's, I bought my 1st set of BRM's from him off that car. I have'nt seen him in a while,  I bet he still owns that Buggy though.

Geez, I totally forgot about John's black buggy. That thing was sweet. Bill, do you remember the light blue one that I was referring to, earlier, in this thread? BRM wheels, big engine, nicely done car.

Thats it. I remember the name John Fawley. Ever since I saw that one I wanted one like it. I was close but had to sell. There was a yellow one on detailed alloys on Hot VW`s cover in the late 70`s also. I think I`m going to have to search for it.

That car is from the Davis Bros. Wayne or Rick I don't remember which. Very nice car, it was done & sold before the red oval street race car they had.

This one is much earlier than what KS is talking about. I vaguely remember it, could it have been Geno Comb's ?
