Love a Meyers Manx
Love a Meyers Manx
A Manx buggy has always and probably will always be on my auto to do list. I have been telling myself for over 20 years that I wanted a slammed street manx capable of tearing up the cones
But the older I get I just see it being more of a sub 60hp dawdler on steelies with hubcaps
This image or one very much like it, has been burned into my mind since the late 70's. I can think of no more iconic "fun with cars" picture that has stuck with me like this
Damnit. I will probably add a manx search to my morning RSS feeds
Yup. I have always wanted one also. Also more of a street buggy, but likely adding a Corvair engine.
Getting one to handle reasonably (they are way tail heavy) would be interesting. But, I could even deal with an OK handling drag demon that would embarrass a lot of much more expensive car across an intersection.
Our Manx is probably the one vehicle I'd never want to sell--and it already has a line of friends who want it if we ever do. It's just fun.
It's nice to see the classic car world waking up to the cool-factor of vintage buggies. Here's ours at the Hilton Head Concours:
I met him a couple years ago at Carlisle. Very cool guy. Said when he's home in California he still goes surfing every morning.
A friend met him at the Amelia Island show and said the same - he's a pretty cool dude.
Not a real Manx, but we certainly love our street buggy.
