A car most people didn't know if it really existed.
Ruska Buggies was a Dutch car factory making buggies based on Volkswagen Beetles.

As experts will be able to tell, this is the very first Ruska Buggies model. Model B1. They were only available in 1970 and have the lowest production numbers, approx. 300 units! This Ruska was always owned by a real VW enthusiast (collector).

This Ruska was always treated very well and with great care. Always kept in warm and dry storage and used in good weather. The engine starts immediately and runs well. The engine doesn’t smoke!
The gears shift well and the brakes work properly.

This is the very first model (it has what it’s supposed to have and nothing else).

Complete including a soft-top which is in good condition, with side windows and the 3 original soft-top bars.

We believe the paint is largely original and looks excellent!
The chassis looks good, the mudguard edges and fairing are neat. The floor looks neat on both the driver’s and passenger’s side.

As you can see, the engine has several new parts. This was done in 2019, it has driven less than 400 km since!

In short: a truly unique car all collectors and enthusiasts should have. Because it’s a buggy, please check if it can be admitted in your country. No COC can be requested for this car. 

It can be picked up in Hardenberg.

Unique Objects

Occasionally, two different bidders may show up in the bidding history with the same bid amount. This occurs when one user's bid is exactly the same as an automatic (maximum) bid placed by another user earlier. Since the auto-bid was placed first, this takes preference. The bidding history will show both bids, with the auto-bid ranked as the higher of the two.


Double bid

It may appear that the same bid has been placed by two different bidders. This can occur if someone places a bid in another currency which is then rounded to the same amount as the previous bid in %{local_currency}.

This can occur for the following reasons:
<p>1. If an opening bid does not meet a lot’s reserve price (hidden minimum), buyers may try outbidding their earlier bid in order to find that lot’s RP.</p>
<p>2. If an auto-bid (user-set maximum bid) is outbid, the bidding log will show the first and final steps of that user's auto-bid in a row. The new highest bid will be shown at the top.</p>

Why is this bidder outbidding him- or herself?
