im not sure if its called a wizard roadster but alls the guy has told me is that he bulit the car and restored her twice over 16 years no its time for another go, its suppose to just be a completely fibreglassed bug with porche kit fibreglassed on with custom everything, the guy says the only metal part of the car is the engine and doors lol, he says it shifts aswell,
im really excited because ive got it for less than a fraction of what its worth
 i aint fetched it yet and ive insured it and booked it in for m.o.t and as soon as the m.o.t is done (just needs brake pads because its been standing) i will be applying for the 12 months free road tax yay
god i love tax exempt cars, think its gonna be a real head turner at the shows, cant wait for dubfreeze etc... santapod here we come

They are absolutely stunning mate!! The wizards were mostly fibreglass bodied ones (apart from a couple of steel bodied ones of which there is only one left I think!!(i think?)). When I looked at them they always needed ALOT of work, couldn't find one that was pretty complete for decent money so well done on your find!! Enjoy it, it's a rare car that will certainly get alot of looks!

been to put my deposit on it tonight and heres the pics i took while i was their,











the guy also said it wasnt a wizard as he asked a few wizard owners the only thing thats the same as the wizard is the sidesteps, it has actually got a full custom fibreglass kit made in brazil before it was imported 16 yrs ago, the chap is kind enough to bring the car to my house for me so i havnt got to bother with messing around towing etc... only 20 miles away anyway, just gotta do a bit of fillering and spraying then do the brakes then its off for a m.o.t!! yay

its not as bad as it looks hehe, il m.o.t it then get the bodywork done its all fibreglass so its easy enough to do and the paint is ford diamond white so easy to spray too!! however ive been thinking of re-spraying it yellow!! any ideas on colour would be appreciated, thanks guys

Jazz Blue!!  Think of the interior mate - you could have a cc leather one. Of course you'll need leather for 2 reasons. 1- the roof will leak and 2- you'll constantly be having to wipe jizz off the seats after you've driven it!!

i actually fort of having it yellow with the concept seats in but vicki wont let me use her car like that! my idea is for the golf to disappear and the bits find their way to the bug but theres more money involved in selling the cc plus its the wait 12 months for the payout from the insurance company!! think im going to settle for whatever bucket style seats i can get hold of unless ur offering your blue ones?? hehe "no"..........."what do you mean no"............ "i was only hinting"
speak soon m8

lol "yeah you can have my seats"..."Have my wallet too"..."Hell I'll bend over and stretch out if it makes it easier"...!!!

sort ya sig out mate!!
