PUERTO DE LA CRUZ MEETING. PART TWO: BUGGYS FOR EVERYONE!

The first one is this Puma, an Italian design over beetle chassis. There were a lot to rent 20 years ago...


Backwards snapshot




There was also a berautiful speedster....


And this project, half way cabrio and buggy, totally designed by Antonio (a friend) and made with no fiberglass at all!!




Its basis is a shortened and chopped sedan...


This nice exaple of a Puma GT (another model from the Italian Puma)...



And to finish now, this one which I ignore if it is an Apal or what???



Thanks to Eduardo Ascanio for the rare project pics!

DAILY DRIVE: BANANAS CARRIER T1 DOKA!!!!

I found this nice T1 Doka during my short pre-holidays a week ago.

It is a daily drive, runs great and her proud owner uses her to carry bananas from the plantation to the packing store....


Only the new reverse lights and the inner sealed cargo doors were ugly on her....



It´s amazing dokas like this one still work everyday in our islands!!! We´re lucky. What a pity all those which didn´t survive the pass of time (hundreds....)
