Manx Club

This is even better than an original 1968.

Jennsen Monocoque Playing with Quarto

Scott, Did Doug non-op it in 84? Is the DMV going to let Marc use the original plates without any fuss? Marc said something about getting it rewired, does it have the VW harness? It looks like it has RGBs, does it? I don't think Marc would mind if the faded Bud-Man came un-stuck.

The front bumper is the early Meyers Manx one. I'm pretty sure its tubular but only 3/4" dia. vs. the later 1".

I'm very disappointed to have heard from Winnie Meyers that Pixar and Mattel are using Old Red's image without their approval/authorization. I guess that's a Manx toy that won't be added to my collection.

There are at least 20 known Resorter/Turistas; #11 and #12 made Feb 69, #15, #18 and #19 made Mar 69, #28 and #31 made Jun 69, #31 made Jul 69, #50 and #56 made Oct 69, #57 made Jan 70, #66 and #69 made May 70, #1036 and #1050 made sometime between Sep 70 and when the factory closed on Aug 13, 1971....

The Resorter ad in the Feb 69 DB&HVWs shows the Resorter without a badge. However, the article Bruce wrote in Vol 1, No.3&4 of Manx Mania about the Resorter said, "We stuck Meyers Manx badges on them and shared with Bill a 50-50% profit from the deal". I think the picture showed th...

It has one of the single tube bumpers Meyers sold. They were 3/4" diameter.

The DMV used to make you surrender your old plate when you got a replacement, so its unlikely they have the original, however just a snap shot could tell you what the number was and help tell you where yours fell in the build order.

Scott, Maybe you've already done it but I suggest that you contact the Jensen family and see if there is any chance that they have any old pictures of your Manx in their family album. If they do, there's a good chance the original license plate is visible. BTW, this year California is going to repro...

Something else I just noticed, monocoque PCS 076 had two different types of skid plate. During the warm weather casual trip it had the multi-tube protection like Scott's Jensen Monocoque. On the cold weather record run it had a conventional steel skidplate and a single tube bumper. I think that indi...

Chris, when you said, "The Geragos car and yours are "known" cars. The Geragos monocoque has all Porsche drivetrain and that car is remembered by Bruce. The other monocoques are kind of unknowns as to where they went to and who bought them".I wonder if Bruce might actually have k...

Scott, You need to tell them its a collector vehicle and you are a collector. Here is the actual vehicle code and verbiage on the back fee exemption. Vehicle code 4604 certification = PNO (a) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (d), prior to the expiration of the registration of a vehicle, i...

PCS 076 was a gold metalflake monocoque which made at least two trips down Baja. It was owned by Neal Allen and was one of the two chase vehicles that accompanied Old Red when it set the record in 1967. From a couple other pictures, it also appears to have been in a group of monocoques that ventured...
