Good looking buggy! What kind of tires are on it?

 

[The Goat 812]

Could they be cut TSLs or SXs

 

[ChiefsJ10]

No, I believe they are called Simex brand tires. European stuff.

Cool. Looks like the outer tread of a bogger with the inside tread of a TSL.

This engine is completely NEW.
I've found it in a engineer school...
It was a present from mercedes, this engine was exposed in the school entrance....

Judging by the ciao, I would wager you are Italian? I lived in Germany for 3 years and drove to Jesolo (because Venice was nasty) and took a tour bus to Rome a year or so later. Beautiful country!
