The Manx Club Site is at
www.manxclub.org
There you can e-mail some pictures of the buggy and have it verified as a geniune Manx then with a Verification Plate supplied, there will never be any doubt that the Buggy is a true Manx.
Ok here are some pics of the beast
Please note the front area where the emblem area should be is modified to accept a radiator so it is not there.
please help me id this as I would like to get it if it is original what would it be worth if it was original? what’s worth if it a copy?
thanks wacked1

I reckon from my uneducated eye it looks like a manx but i'm an owner not an expert

Motor is either a EA81, EA71 or EA61 - its the early 80's subaru motor that was used in almost everything from that era. Depending on which one it is, it could be 1.6, 1.7 or 1.8 liter.
Fairly good dependable motors from what I know, but not exactly Formula 1. I seem to recall something like 70 or 80 odd HP, but I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.
Yes it doe's look to be a Manx (clone). The back of the body does not look like an original meyers car, even if the extra cut out for a aircleaner or whatever had not been cut out. Sorry to mabey dissapoint you on your car identification but from the photos provided this is just my opion as a Meyers Manx owner. But to up your spirits a dune buggy no matter the body shape they are all great fun(trust me i have 2 of them) . Andrew

I have to disagree- just look at the rear cargo area (battery/tyre well) looks like a manx one- reinforcing under guards looks right too, not to mention the rear end. I'm sure its a manx- altho a badly mutilated one.
