'YABBY BUGGY'

The classic 60's beach buggy is back!

Not for decades has it been possible to register a beach buggy in Australia. We are now in the process of reproducing these classic buggies but with modern-day engineering. 

  ProRace Engineering can now supply the classic 60's beach buggy,                                               THE YABBY BUGGY                                                in kit form able to be registered for road use in Australia.

BODIES.

Produced in high-quality fibreglass using the latest techniques, equipment, and materials. We can offer two styles, the LWB 4 seater and the classic SWB 4 seater. The LWB can still be registered, just fit to your standard unmodified VW Beetle floorpan/chassis. Bodies are available now.

 

CHASSIS.

The SWB (Short Wheel Base) body fits to our proprietary in-house designed 'Millennium' chassis. These chassis are 2021 technology and no longer use VW components, eliminating the need to scour wrecking yards looking for non-existent 50-year-old parts. And of course, you then have a vehicle that drives like a modern car.

PRE-ORDERS & EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST.

We are taking Pre-Orders and expressions of interest for the Classic Yabby SWB Buggy Complete Body and ProRace Millennium chassis kit. 

Your Pre-Order or Expression Of Interest will ensure two things; that your car will be ready as soon as the engineering and approvals processes are finalized and that you pay a special pre-order pricing structure. The initial production run for kits will be up to 12 units, beyond which pricing will revert to normal retail values.

Disclaimer.

The photo's on this page of the finished yellow buggy are NOT the Yabby Buggy. This is a car built in the USA that we chose as a representation of how the Yabby will look once completed. Specifically, this car has a fabricated chassis and modern type suspension much the same as the Yabby, and if you are familiar with these cars it highlights the more modern nature of the mechanical layout. It also has a body style that is much the same. The yellow car has no association with us apart from this visual representation. Currently, the only pictures we have of the actual Yabby are the body in white straight out of our moulds.

The body in white shown is our LWB body. The SWB is identical apart from the wheelbase.
