Manx Club

I'm sure you'll get a volunteer, but if not, there is a Manx at the Henry Ford museum...

David, Thanks - makes perfect sense once you know :) I had googled po before I posed the question here and came up with nothing. However... I googled og and found this: buy o.g. mugs, tshirts and magnets Commonly misunderstood as a term which stands for "Original Gangster," this versatile ...

Gromitdog (or anyone else...), Forgive me for the dumb question but I keep seeing P.O. on many forums and have yet to figure out what it stands for.

The P.O. restored the pan (new floor) and I will soon be setting the body back on it.

You have to be a dues-paid Manx Club member as well...

I think these are Manx bodies

Welcome Martin, I posted your latest update on the Facebook Fan Club page too. The group of us that love the Queen Manx look will bump into each other on 3 or 4 different sites now I'm still hoping that Pete Condos' grandaughter might come thru with some newly found photos for us all! Dan

Mel, When I saw the photo of Daves's parts on the buggy, I shuddered too, mainly because my buggy's finish is painted rather than being gelcoat. That buggy is beautiful (as was Dave's green one!!) and looks like it was just made.

sorry for drifting off-topic... Nelson, If you have a Facebook account, I invite you to join the Fanclub (see my signature). Pete Condos' grandaughter just signed in to it and is offering to post photos that she has. I mentioned your theory on the 2 buggies for Connie Stevens and Dick Smothers - le...

Nelson, Yes, that does make more sense that they got regular Manx's. I may have to update my website again :) It's great that a few of you guys are contributing so much to getting the Thomas Crown buggy history out there. I'm doing what I can with what I've learned as well. Winnie and Bruce have rev...

Nelson, Thanks for sharing all of the great history you come across!!! Con-Ferr was planning to produce fiberglass Queen Manx bodies but only made one or two before a fire in their shop ended that. This falls in line with the quote I found on the internet: [LEFT] Jon Harting reveals more details:[/L...

Nelson - Great post!! One thing strikes me though... However, your serial number is 148 so I believe its a ManxVair production number. I believe the first Manxvair which was produced in Dec 68 was serial# 101. I'm not sure there were a full 148 ManxVairs made (sometimes the factory skipped numbers),...

Thanks for sharing with us Dave. We've got the link on our "Thomas Crown" Dune Buggy Fan Club page thanks to you http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=122627113592 Did you notice that decklid cover rattlin' around?

you mean like this?

searched for chrome deck fill plate

Those conversion kits to convert VW type 1 setups to electric may start selling now. If my engine wasn't running so sweet, I might have considered trying out the conversion this summer. This week is the highest I've EVER paid for gasoline at $3.95 a gallon, and we've known that it's always been pric...

Dan, That's just what I got from Richard, the copy was a bit washed out. Give him a call. He's listed on the registry in Louisiana. He's a very nice guy.

Forgive me, but when I look in Member List, there is no Richard Brown. What registry are you referring to?
