The Surfite was a one-off custom ny legendary builder Ed Roth. Created in 1964, the Surfite used an Austin Mini powertrain on a shortened wheelbase.
Configured as a single-seater, beach transport vehicle, the Surfite also carried a surfboard mounted along the right hand side of the car. Subsequent auto designers have explored this motif decades later, though somewhat cynically.
The car briefly appeared in a period surfing movie, 'Beach Blanket Bingo', whatever that is supposed to mean?
Although cute and showing much customer oriented fore-thought, the Surfite would not have been a practical or comfortable vehicle to drive on the road.
This Lego model of the Surfite has been created for Flickr LUGNuts 38th build challenge - 'By random appointment', where builders have been allocated vehilces by the administrators to offer a challenge similar to a client commission.
