I am looking for vintage, read old, pics of Manx type buggies racing, preferably off road. I have found a few on the net, mostly of Meyer's Big Red Manx. If anyone has some they would like to share I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
--louis

Those are cool thanks. Trying to get a feel for how racing buggies from the late '60s & early '70s were equipped. Trying to figure out how I want to accessorize my Manx is all. Thanks, --louis

I think you will like my "Re-vamp" for next year/volksworld show Thought yours was for sale? Kind of thinking something like this without all the stickers. Maybe a single rally strip offset to one side. I also want to add some off road lights but don't want to mount them to the top/roll bar. Was thinking about the front tube bumper. --louis

Wish there was more of the third one, and not just because of the girls. Cool pics.
Thanks,

Hey louis, yeah it is still kinda for sale but no one's buying Plus if I do sell it has to be for the RIGHT money Anyway I still have way too many idea's - roll bar, custom "auxilary" fuel tanks, stickers, tires, airfilter, wheels etc etc etc Also that Blue one has given me a few new ideas - I love the "Baja look" you would never have guessed I might have a colour pic of the 3rd one (glitter bug) its in one of the dune buggy books here in the UK - If you really want I could send you over all my James hale/UK buggy books there are some cooooool pic's in there (PM me) I was also gonna say - I have done more than my fair share of research over the years and ALL these pic are new to me where are you finding them all

Not a racing pic, but it was just too cool not to share. Found on the Samba. I love factory photos. I think my favorite, non-cal-look, VW book is the day at the factory book. --louis

There's a shop like this just round the corner from me and his back yard looks just like it. I think it's called "Dave's Aquatics, Pumps & Ponds"

I'm telling you, this thing is a chick magnet ! I know it's a little off topic, but I thought you would get a kick out of the old photo album I just bought. There used to be a family that lived a few houses down from me in the late 60's that had a purple metalflake buggy (can't remember what brand) that they used as a daily driver. It was fun to watch them drive it to church on Sundays all dressed up ! :-)
