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 6 Seater Vintage Buggy
Three rows in the same 1930s body, at 3.84 m rather than the four seater's 3.14 m. Carrying capacity rises to 480 kg and the motor steps up from 4 kW to 5 kW to move it.
The figures that fall are range and climbing, at 55 km and 15%. This is the vintage size that most often ends up on a flat hotel or vineyard route, where the extra pair of seats matters more than the last few kilometres.
Where six vintage seats earn their keep
- Country house hotels moving guests between car park and entrance in one trip
- Vineyard and distillery tours running a fixed loop with a full party
- Wedding venues wanting the bridal party and photographer in one vehicle
- Attractions running short paid tours on level ground
What it will not do
- Climbing capacity is 15%, the lowest of the vintage line and among the lowest in the catalogue. On anything but gentle ground this is the wrong vehicle.
- The stated range is 55 km, again the shortest of the three, because it is heavier than the four seater without a bigger battery.
- Open, with no doors and no roof as standard. A roof is an option.
- It turns in under 5.5 m and is nearly 3.9 m long, so it needs a route with room.

Questions about the 6 Seater Vintage Buggy
- Why is the range lower than the 4 seater?
- It weighs more without carrying a larger battery: 670 kg gross against 500 kg, on the same 6 x 8V 165Ah set. The stated range falls from 70 km to 55 km as a result.
- Will it manage a hill?
- A gentle one. The stated climbing capacity is 15%, the lowest in the vintage line, so a steep drive is worth measuring before ordering. The four seater manages 20% and the lifted range 30%.
- How much can it carry?
- 480 kg against a 670 kg gross weight, which is six adults and their coats rather than six adults and luggage.
- How much does it cost?
- We price to specification rather than publish a figure. Tell us the route 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.
