Beardalls Beach Buggies
During the late 1960s and early 1970s Beardalls moved with the times and started early on with the VW based Beach Buggy craze. Beradalls was one of the first and largest distributors of the UK GP Buggy.
“Manufacturer GP Speed Shop was quick to build a network of dealers around the country and develop licensing agreements abroad. Its largest Midlands agent was Beardalls in Nottingham, which marketed the kits under its own name and also produced excellent sales material - such as the Beradall Bulletin - and buggy accessory guides. The latter featured details and pictures of the company’s kits, complete buggies and many excellent accessories. GP and Beradalls were advertising their products heavily in the Early 1970s, but were not alone in wanting a share of the lucrative market”
In the UK, Beradalls of Nottingham was one of the first distributors for the GP buggy. Its brochure showcased details of its buggies, plus the range of in-house designed accessories.
