One of my favorite vintage buggies. Built mine from two fleabay wrecks. Has the same bodyshell, front and rear suspension as the "Mantua Junior Strap" but with a different chassis. The strap has an unconventionel pullstarter on the central drivetrain doing away with a stater box. Both were available in 2WD with an upgrade kit to make them 4WD to keep the price down. One good hard impact on the wheels resulted in the diff housing breaking. They have the option for two servo steering as high torque servos were expensive back then hence the extra hole. Quite a few cars did - SG, PB etc. Anyway you have a great channel.
