Berry did make the first production T style buggy. They were making fiberglas T Hot Rod parts and jumped in on the buggy craze. The Berry buggy looked like this.

The Barris Buggy was a one off show car till people wanted to buy them. It looked like this. [font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] [font=Arial, Helvetica]

The Joe Poty buggy was the second of the line of Sand Rover buggies they offered. The Sand Rover was available with standard or T style hood. Just like Berrien buggy was doing when they were still selling the Citation bodies.

Then Joe Poty East offered a pick bed. Different than the others. Joe Poty West soon followed and the fourth option was a Sand Rover with dropped sides like a Resorter.

There were also a couple of variations of T buggies by Kellison.

And one made by Glitterbug that looked like the standard but with a bed and real tailgate! And by Perfect Plastics.... A four seater called Tuff Tub...

And a four seater called Maxi Taxi by Bremen Speed the makers of the Citation.

Lots of different T buggies really. Not all just copies of Berry. Not all MAnx copies are really copies either but, thats another story for another website. Take care, John Shepard the DBA

Hi John, Not wanting to start trouble but, having had a Maxi Taxi, I know Maxi Taxis-This is a Maxi Taxi, Maxi Taxi's had doors.

I know Bremen made several variations of "T" style buggys. I don't know what that "buggy" is called that you posted.

I have been posting misc. buggy pictures on the Manx Gallery so people can get ideas from them. Everybody is free to post a comment regarding the buggys. Using the comment feature, I would also like everyone to ID the buggys if they know the manufacturer of the specific buggy. Here is the link: http://www.manxgallery.org/gallery/album197 Thanks and have fun.

Here's another Sandrover T pickup on Ebay. Looks like a good project, complete, cheap too. Too bad its in Florida:x , How come it seems all the good deals are always soo far away.
