I love the colour - It an exact copy of Neils who was at the last Klub meeting on Stockton. For $69 I'd buy it for sure.

"The Meyers Manx Dune Buggy
• The definitive 1:24 scale die-cast replica based directly on the original designed by Bruce Meyers.
• With a body of real fiberglass just like the original.
• Features metal roll bar, whip CB antenna, surfboard, removable hard top and operable steering.
• Authorized and authenticated by Bruce Meyers.

One of the most famous automobiles of all time, the original Meyers Manx Dune Buggy comes to life for the first time in a fully authorized precision model with a body made of real fiberglass! Celebrate the birth of the off-road revolution with the symbol of freedom and fun. The Dune Buggy is your ticket to adventure — from Baja to the beach, this little wonder is packed full of raw pleasure. Catch a wave and wander back to the ’60s when Bruce Meyers’ dream of building a better buggy sparked the idea to create what became one of the most celebrated and influential automobiles ever. The Dune Buggy is the ultimate symbol of California dreamin’ — from the metal roll bar to the snazzy surfboard and the removable top — it’s power-packed and ready for fun!"

Regardless I'd still like to own the real thing. There is no doubt the Buggies rule - But Baja are a blood close second and for the sake of windows that wind up, I don't need to win.
