The battery, the wheels and the options change the figure enough that a headline price would be wrong for most buyers, so we price the vehicle you actually want, delivery included.

About the 4 Seater Vintage Buggy
A vintage buggy is bought for how it looks, and there is no point pretending otherwise. What matters is that the looks are not all there is: this carries 320 kg against a 500 kg gross weight, covers 70 km on a charge and turns in 4.5 m, which are working figures rather than showpiece ones.
It is the smallest and quickest of the three, at 3.14 m and 30 km/h. That combination suits a venue that wants the vehicle seen at the front of the house and still used to move people about behind it.
Where a vintage body earns its keep
- Wedding venues and country houses where the vehicle is part of the arrival
- Hotels running a short shuttle that guests should enjoy rather than tolerate
- Vineyards, distilleries and attractions running paid tours
- Film and photography work needing a period look on modern running gear
What it will not do
- It is open. There is no roof as standard and no doors at all, so British weather is a real planning question rather than an afterthought. A roof is on the options list.
- Ground clearance is 150 mm on 20 x 9.00-12 tyres, which is fine on made paths and gravel and wrong for rough ground.
- Braking is a rear wheel mechanical drum system with a stated range of under 5 m.
- The bodywork is the point of it, and it is glass fibre. It marks more easily than the utilitarian shells elsewhere in the catalogue, which matters if it will be parked among crowds.

Questions about the 4 Seater Vintage Buggy
- Is a vintage golf buggy actually old?
- No, and we would not sell one that was. The body is styled after a 1930s tourer; underneath it is a current electric drivetrain with a modern controller, charger and battery set. You get the look without the maintenance of a genuine period vehicle.
- Does it come with a roof?
- Not as standard. It is an open tourer, which is most of its appeal and all of its weakness in British weather. A roof is available as an option and worth specifying if it will run year round.
- How many people does it carry?
- Four, and 320 kg all told against a 500 kg gross weight. The larger vintage sizes carry six and eight.
- How much does a vintage buggy cost?
- We price to specification rather than publish a figure. Tell us the size and whether you want a roof, and we will quote the vehicle, the delivery and the lead time together.

Not sure whether to buy or hire
As a rule, buying wins if you would use it more than a few weeks a year or need it available without arranging anything. Below that, hiring usually costs less and takes the maintenance off you. The calculator works it through on your own numbers rather than ours.
