does anybody what make of buggy this is? cheers kevin

Looks like a Manx with some ugly ass bonnet and windshield grafted on to it.
empi

It looks very much like this one.

and this

same again.Gee I wish I still had it.

Buger Gary,
Your looks great, but that other one is Horrible in My opinion. errr Ugly is the word. Some are nice and some are Ugly...
Lee

thats why we buy orrible things down this way,there called projects we do them up and make sure they stay in ozzie land.cheers kevin.:thumb

Kevin that pic and Gary's pic are of Ron Gee specials that were made from a manx mould but had the ribs put on the bonnet to change the appearance slightly. The blue one has had ugly flares glassed on to use wide wheels in the mud from the looks of it. These were common in Tassie as Ron Gee still has the mould at his factory in Penguin where he fits out ambulances that go Australia wide. I have owned a couple of these ex-manxes over the years, and sold one only last year for $150(body kit only). Body on 60 single in background pic. volma

Stick with it Kevin...what was once an ugly duckling can grow into a beautiful swan some day (so the story goes)!!

sorry I cant help but Keven it's a good start for a nice ride in the future and I wish it was me

I like it

I've got one of those 'Manx' copies too. One thing though, the last person who had the car cut big holes in the bonnet for some stupid reason. Can you still buy bonnents. If you can, then who do I call and what number do I ring.
Can any one help?
Regards,
Mark

Does anyone know if Ron Gee still makes these in Penguin?? Were sidepods ever an option?
Gary, the photos of your old buggy look somewhat the same as the buggy I have sitting in my shed in Shearwater. Just a little more molested later in its life!
Do you know what happened to it?

Hi whirla the last i saw my buggy it was heading to Arthur River under it's own steam with the new owners and a couple of kids hanging out of it lol.
It wasn't even registered but they didn't care. I had never even given it a good run and they took it on it's maiden voyage after i restored it and drove it all the way to their shack at Richardson bay.
I think the new owners were from Ulverstone.
This was about thirty years ago and i haven't seen it since so it could be any where now.
Put up a pic of the one you have and i'll see if there are any identifying bits left on it if you like.
I am helping a friend fix up one similar at the moment just for off roading but it's taking us a while to complete it lol.

so great! but it is so old. can drive?
