Beach buggy manufacturing from
VW Beetle donor vehicles using new components for brake systems,
suspension and engines.
Spares – retail and wholesale of new and used Beetle
and Golf 1 spares.
Established in Cape Town in 1975 as a manufacturer of glass
fibre beach buggies and related spares sales.
Beach buggy demand has been steady
from the outset with many clients returning to buy new buggies
or upgrade
and refurbish
their existing bugs. The buggies are entirely hand built
at the Beamish Buggy factory with only specialist engineering
being outsourced. This approach has remained a cornerstone
of the company's’ business practice and an important
reason for its sustainability. To date in excess of 1000 buggies
have been produced with a similar number of D.I.Y. kits being
sold.
Recognition of the company by
the South African Bureau of Standards in granting MIB (manufacturer,
importer, builder)
status to the company reinforces the ideal of high standards
that the company strives to maintain. With this foundation
the company has increased it’s export
market. Realistic prices for both the domestic and foreign
market are maintained by ensuring that up to 75% of the buggies’ components
are local content. |
