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] Title: Re: Manx Buggy Post by: Neil Davies on November 03, 2010, 13:04:04 pm Rob, the front wheels are made by Saco, at least that's what I was told when I bought them from the States! :)
