mackaymanx - October 30th, 2006 at 06:40 PM

I've just got back from taking my manx for a litte spin out to the Isa, thought I'd share what I spotted along the way.

Red manx at the Magnetic Island ferry terminal Townsville (spotted by the ex when she was going over)

If it makes you feel any better that red buggy isn't a Manx either.

:dork: I'm sure he's aware of that..... the other ones he saw were....:P


mackaymanx - October 30th, 2006 at 08:51 PM

Yeah I knew the manx was a clone, I was being a bit generic with my id. I've seen it before in a magazine somewhere (VW Power?). Both the split kombi's have semaphores still in them. Red primered panel has been abused by the sandblasters and has buckled panels.


BrisDubba - October 31st, 2006 at 01:50 AM

I would have thought someone would have gotten those Kombis by now- I posted about them ages ago when I lived out there. The white ute is/was from Cloncurry I think. Did you go up the Normanton road, there is a burnt out one there that they feature in postcards now.


mackaymanx - October 31st, 2006 at 08:26 AM

The ute is in Isa, I think the Cloncurry one was a dual cab svncro, last I saw several years back it was half burnt in someone's back yard.

Anyone know what the single cab is worth?


jason1957 - November 13th, 2006 at 01:44 PM

Hey MackayManx are these kombis for sale or possibly for sale I would slip up there and pick one up if there were. Please U2U me with more info ie where they are etc...

I'm presently in Brisvegas, I get some details to you when I make it back up to Mackay. I pretty sure these are both up for sale, I'll make some inquiries for you.


Muzza72 - November 14th, 2006 at 07:44 PM

the red primered pannel looks in pretty good nick will make a good project for someone. early panels are getting rare

murray


mackaymanx - December 16th, 2006 at 12:55 PM

And some more


mackaymanx - December 18th, 2006 at 04:38 PM

These two are in townsville, Low light camper and dual cab


MickH - December 18th, 2006 at 07:53 PM

And both are very savable. The dualcab has very little rust and is mostly complete.It's a 76 model.It also has a sister that is a 75 model and is complete,sitting in a pile to be crushed next week:cry The "yard boy" moved it to the wrong area after the engine and trans were removed.Now it has a falcon on top of it:cussing:cussing:vader:(.........bugga. The camper has little rust and is complete minus engine and trans,actually the engine is in the rear on the bed,but the gearbox is gone...:o
