Title: Manx Buggy
Post by: RobtheManx on November 03, 2010, 10:17:47 am
Hello all

I've decided to sell my buggy , I still love the car but simply don't use it. It had a fresh MOT this year and have done about 10 miles.

I only really use it for the occasional blast up the strip , maybe I'll build a drag buggy next .

Its on a 1962 chassis ,
Brilliant bronze metalflake ,
gelcoat flower power roof ,
Original Meyers screen and frame,
1776cc Bernie Smith engine , twin 40 webers , Merger collector , glass pack muffler .
Engine had new bearings and general freshen up this year.
Front wheels are 13" two piece spun aluminium, I think they're Streakers .
I am keeping the Douglas rear wheels , car will be on five spoke ARE's on chevy drums .
Seats are stock , need recovering but I like them as they are .
Its no show winner , but a well built buggy and loads of fun.

£8000 ono

or £7000 with a 1600cc with twin 34 webers

Cheers , Rob[attachment=1]

Rob, the front wheels are made by Saco, at least that's what I was told when I bought them from the States! :)

Drag buggy, now there's an idea! ;)
