model history

In the late 1960s, the buggy was born from one simple idea: freedom. Light, fast, without unnecessary luxury. Just driving. This 1970 Desert Rat is exactly that and nothing else.

Designed by Alex Dearborn and built by owner Henk Schollen in Tilburg, in a limited run of only 500 units. A rare sight, and even harder to find these days.

Over the past few months, this buggy has been brought back to what it’s all about: driving. No excessive restoration, but exactly the right approach. Authentic, sleek, and with upgrades that give it just that little extra.

our car

This is not a car for neat Sunday drives.

This is a buggy for people who prefer to chart their own course.
Start it up, feel the engine behind you come to life, and let the rest do the talking. No roof, no rules, no compromises. Just you, the machine, and the road ahead.
Asphalt, dikes, dirt tracks—this Desert Rat wants to be driven. Bold, light, and unfiltered. Every ride is raw, direct, and exactly as it is meant to be.
Not a comfort car. Not a crowd-pleaser.

This is freedom, with a sharp edge.

Bugs like this are only becoming scarcer. Shortening is no longer allowed, and supply is drying up. What remains is becoming even more interesting.

This is one such example.
