Summary

Dune Buggy Mania: A History of Fun on Wheels

The book introduces the reader to the cult of the dune buggy, from its beginnings as a crude off-road vehicle in the 1920s, to the explosion of glassfibre-bodied and VW-based fun cars that became the transport of teenagers in the 1960s and 1970s.
