Siigy Manx bits wanted...
If anyone's got a pair of bottom roll bar angle brackets and/or a set of spare wheel fixings left over from a Signiture Manx build I'd happily pay good money or make a donation to the Haiti relief fund or the charity of your choice for them. Thanks in advance, Dave.

Hey Dave, its a shame you never bought a siggy kit when Meyers was selling them, the 100th one must be very collectable and Meyers sold them off really cheap, so would have been a nice investment for ya. Wonder if the molds got destroyed after the run,,, there must have been a lot of miles left on them.

Wasn't some of the moulding done 'south of the border? I remember an 'Echo en Mexico' sticker on the sidepods you'd just got off bruce when I collected my kit from you in late '99.

IMHO I feel Bruce kinda shot his self in the foot by doing such a small run of siggys and then stop making that classic shape, after all, its been the daddy of fiberglass dune buggies for over 40 years. Nothing against the Manxter & Kickout, both great Meyers creations, but I'm sure there will ALWAYS be a heathy market for that original shape.

[QUOTE="mel hubbard;15866"]Are you tempted Dave? . I love that buggy color, the seats and wheels look nice too. I'd junk that damn exhaust though.[/QUOTE] If I lived in the same state maybe but couldn't stretch to importing it at the moment...X2 about the exhaust...horrible things those!!!
