| description | This Holiday Buggy arrived recently from the USA, a purchase on Ebay. It cost a reasonable USD$108.25 plus postage. I have been looking for one of these for some time. Condition overall; it's clean, the underneath chassis has its fair share of road rash from long ago. Also an owner from long ago actually engraved his name into the chassis. It's engraved 'Tony Garbo, Wisconsin'. It would be cool if this guy was a TC member. The rear tyres are shot with multiple flat spots. The front tyres are quite good. The bodyshell has a small crack radiating from the bottom of the pillar near the Ca in California. Also the roof pillar join has a small crack. Still it should be an easy restoration. The driver appears as though it has never had a coat of paint. It came with full electrics and transmitter which I doubt work. Hey this Holiday Buggy will be celebrating it's 30th soon! I had to get one, but they are getting harder to find I have noticed. I must admit i was surprised at how large these buggy's are, I thought it would be smaller. Anyway I have now archived it for a future project.

With a little work, this could be a nice runner !!!
Haha mate i was of exactly the same opinion, they are huge aren't they and with that piddly 380 to propel it along! Great buggy and not a bad price either
A good exemple you have
Thanks for the kind comments all. I think a Sand Rover will be on my list next.
Looks great! Absolutely on my wish-list again! (sold one about 5 yrs ago... grrrrr!)
I agree mate its a great project and pretty tidy very nicely priced as well cant go wrong picking it up for that price .
They are pretty big I thought when I got mine I always thought they were smaller.
my first RC was an HB, every time I see one it brings great memories. Look forward to seeing more after resto complete. Enjoy....
Looks like a great project!
