Looking for a Manx buggy.

DaBank · Sep 23, 2019

My father in-law is looking for a Manx to tow being his motorhome. Anyone have one in Southern California or tri-state for sale?

Arrg! Pretty sure this seller had it posted before and took it off the market. It was listed in same city a year or so ago.

I would have bought this if it was advertised in June
Bucket list toy for me : Dejong

IMHO that's a great deal, engine package. The 1914cc is a great reliable set up for a VW in dirt applications

I am at his build now. Need funds for the pool. He listed changed his mind on the pool now back to the pool. I thought about taking it on trade for part of my work it's in great shape.

@manxman builds them.
Have you considered new?
If a back seat or just more room is wanted he (as well as some of the other builders) have bodies that fit full size uncut pans.

I showed him this one already. It is in Florida now. The ad says the guy is moving to California in a few weeks so maybe it might make it out here and we can check it out.

This is a great deal. The car is brand new. It's one of my long bodys built by a guy in Corona then shipped to the guy in Florida. I would buy it if it was here in California. That car cost him about $20k by the time it made it out to Florida.

I think it was shipped over to Florida in early 2019

If I’m not mistaken there’s several members here with FRP cars.
Never heard a complaint.
Of course I’d expect Scott to be cutting the RDP discount

Thank you.

kiethco · Sep 24, 2019

Check out the Manx club and Manx club classifieds. There are a lot in the 6-9k range that are better outfitted/built than I've seen in this thread. Just have the cash in hand and keep looking, craigslist is also a good resource. They're all one off builds so take your time and find one done right.

Give me a call. Don't really build turnkey cars to much anymore, but can find one or put you in touch with the right people.
