Holiday buggy 7 years 10 months ago #38774

:) Won an auction on evilbay a holiday buggy to end th resto of mine
But on mine the rear support is black and on the "new" it is grey. The MSC is different too
Any info please :)

I've heard somewhere that the very fist Holiday Buggies came with black plastic instead of the grey on later production models.
I believe some of the Guide Book images show this, but I have not checked.
If yours have black details, I would check it out :-)

I bought my first HB before the rere arrive(I think). The plastic sounds vintage. I bought the second one to have a correct chassis and good front suspension. And other details I broke the front bumper (I am repairing it by gluing). It is a grey version.
Somebody has an idea from the origine of the MSC? of the evilbay one?

?

Sand Rover has two black clips that plug in to the same sockets as the grey support on the Holiday Buggy, not two posts like that ...

:huh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: THE SHAME!!!! I fund that why I bought this chassis, (the front coils supports) is brocken on one side. :angry: I repaired and made reinforcements on each side with lexan and grey epoxy glue. I had some transmssion sprues too. (a good thing in this lot) :S . :( I hope that I could make a nice shelf queen with these chassis.... :cry:

Jonny, Do you have an idea of the origin of the MSC? The resistor looks to be a tam but the rest...
