Anybody know anything about these? Tried a Google but nothing usefull.

I built one about fifteen yrs ago (Kustom), AFAIK they are still going over on the A457 in Smethwick next to The big VW Shop which I can't remember the name of.

Was owned by dave Fisher who raced at the time.

No. That's a Kingfisher Sprint.

The Kingfisher Sandrail is just that...
A sandrail.
Crazy VeeDub projectile for thrashing about in the dunes.

ah, I was only ever given the name as "Kingfisher" never the actual name. That isn't my bro-in-laws btw, just one I spotted down at Mini In The Park about 4 years back.

I kinda want a Dune Buggy/Off Road play thing

Well you kinda already have one as the Marlin was apparently originally devised as a trials car for driving up muddy hills.

[docevi1]

oh there are plenty of images of it going up muddy hills, it's just I can't for the life of me see how!




These guys have balls!

Try looking for a UVA fugitive as there may be more of these about.
