Hi everyone,
I am currently speaking with Bill Buckle (the man behind the Buckle Coupe, Goggomobile, Monaco ) about my Monaco. I thought I would see if there are any questions other Ausmini members might like asked? Bill is a really nice guy and has been very helpful with the history around the Monaco.

Please ask him if he knows of the twin engined Goggomobil Coupe.
It was built by Warren Creagh, but I have it now:

I am rebuilding an original one. Was based on a 62 850, painted red with upgraded interior.
My questions are probably the same old questions.
How many built,
What years they were built in,
What colours were they - was Tartan Red an original colour?
And it sounds like they were all built differently. Were there any specific specifications?

Q1: How did Bill bond the roof to the body?

My memory is telling me that Barry Lake also campaigned it in Hill Climbs...

Vale Barry...
