Overland buggy
Hi I'm thinking of building a offroad buggy out of car parts and though it would be cool to travel South America with. If I have a v5 log book and all matching numbers ect would I be able to use a home made vehicle in all South American country's ?
Something like this Joyrider sport factory built buggy ready to drive any engine, fiat 900cc upto 2000cc on & off road driving, complete with full roll cage |
read a website about a couple who built a buggey and did a rtw trip but can't find it now. Thiers was more like the SVA fugitive buggies so a bit larger.
My concern would be comfort and weather proofing, dust rain and cold would make life pretty tough if you couldn't keep it out. Always though the LOcal Motors Rally Fighter would make an interesting build for an overland vehicle http://delessencedansmesveines.com/w...ighter-002.jpg |

Yes I met those guys in Central America 2009 when I was riding my motorbike round the world

Do you mean by having a V5 log book , that the "buggy" would be road legal in UK , as its not just a matter of building something, as there are requirements as to its origin , these are covered by in many cases having to submit the vehicle for IVA testing .
If the vehicle has been recognised in a country that should be adequate for acceptance as allowable on the road in any other country , as most of the rules are UN agreed standards . That is somewhat of a simplification but should give you the general gist of things |
oops! double post!
