Interesting. My tagged Manx2 is number 1259. It shows no sign of ever having underside tubes. That said, I got into the buggy craze in 1969. By the time I was shopping for my first buggy body Meyers was only advertising the Manx2 as 'simpler to build', able to fit the 'new' IRS suspension, and at a ...

Hi Jay! The Manx Registry has quite a few years of accumulated production data in it. I can?t seem to find my old copy right now though. Does your car have the Manx data plate on it? If so what is the serial number? Would you post some pictures? We like pictures!

I like the clean minimalist look also! And the ?exoskeleton? (light weight?) tube ladder frame, kind of Porsche RSKish. And how well the rear tires fit the fenders in its lowered stance, Oh, and the clean way the full roll-cage is dual function as the windshield mount, yet blends well with the dash...

WOW Bud! The new shoes really look nice! I saw on your album you had the rims done with custom (4.25 inch) back spacing. Does that get the tires completely under the Manx fenders? Do you get any tire rub on the body at full crank steering? Again, the baby moons and tire sizes look great on an alread...
