Manx Club

Can anyone tell if my Buggy is a Manx or not? I have attached some pix. Title says its a 1980 VW!

I tried to embed these with bbcode but didnt work so I am linking them if a mod would like to fix?

In my opinion, I am 99% sure it is not a Manx.

Always remember that the only sure fire process to verification as a MANX, is to contact Winnie Meyers and have Meyers Manx, Inc. evaluate the buggy. Go to http://meyersmanx.com/manx_registry for further information on how to verify if you have a genuine Manx.

However, that fact should not keep you from enjoying use of the buggy. Drive it, enjoy it and most of all have fun.


I am going to adding your photos below:

Why not a Manx? And yes I plan to twin turbo it and as you can see I already have done much to it. I was blue and a mess when I bought it and sitting for decades. Its come a long way.
