Samy's Buggy 1.3 — Prototype suisse 1972, véhicule de collection d'exception· 1972 · 7'800 km

Discover the Samy's Buggy 1.3, a legendary vehicle built in 1972 by J.M. Giroud, the visionary constructor from Martigny. This homologated prototype (chassis n°15676) embodies the creative Swiss spirit of the 70s, combining lightness and dynamism in an iconic leisure vehicle design. Equipped with an atmospheric VW Käfer 1.3 engine developing 50 horsepower, this buggy boasts sporty motorization with its two Dellorto carburetors and optimized exhaust line. The manual transmission offers direct and engaging driving, perfect for enjoying every Swiss mountain road. The heart of the project lies in its remarkable structural safety: massive bucket seats, integral harness system and tubular roll bar constitute a genuine protective cage, atypical for the era. Maintained with devotion by the same family for decades, the vehicle benefits from a recent technical inspection (veteran MFK) and a complete overhaul. This piece of Swiss automotive history combines patrimonial authenticity and documented reliability, ideal for collectors seeking a foundational machine.
