What no Subi engine? :eek: They even molded these after the original Meyers Manxter design with the narrower air box and the 911 fan shroud. Oddly enough...I don't ever remember Bruce having a black interior in his with a red top let alone a roof rack and surfboard on the top of his Manxter. I wonder how those side pods fit??? Nice find regardless.

Has anyone heard when they will be available? When I talk to Winnie at Bishop she said they would have them some time before the Christmas season. Do not see anything yet on the site about them. See one for sale on Ebay.

I recieved and early Christmas present package from friends. In it were 2 Manxter's. One Orange and the other one Black in 1/64th scale. They are the ones with just the roll cage. Both have a surfboard on top. The Black one is a dull black with red wheels and baby moon style hub caps. Sort of like the RatRod style.

They are being sold on Ebay. I just did a search using "Manxter" and found 9 of them up for auction.

Jon, Does this mean you're going to lower your car and buy a surfboard? Yeah I know, you live in California, you already have the surfboard. Jay
