I have some awesome memories with this car. It was the first Manx I ever drove and it got me hooked to VW's about 8 years ago.

It's a sad day in buggy world. I hope it goes to a good home.

What an awesome car. Good luck with the sale.

Hope it doesn't end up under some car cover in a garage somewhere.

So whats the colour??


OZ Towdster - May 7th, 2007 at 01:05 PM

Teza's just stiring as it currently lives in the paint booth at COR and gets plenty of overspray but when done it will be the original metal flake Fusia


11CAB - May 7th, 2007 at 01:43 PM

Forgive my ignorance, but what colour is that?


OZ Towdster - May 7th, 2007 at 01:53 PM

If you can't fit Andrews buggy in the space you have, then i highly doubt you will find any buggy to fit.

Maybe if you can find one. a buggy style called a couger. I think they possibly have more then the manx's taken out. Not by much though

Good luck with the sale andrew. wish i baught this originally instead of the one i did.

Better watch what you're wearing Andrew.....:P

Surely there is nothing wrong with having a fetish for spanking:blush:punk:
