[WTB - WA] Registerd Manx style buggy or shell
Im looking for a Manx styl buggy in need of restoration in WA, Nothing too expensive, prefer registered, doesnt have to be though, or even just a
fibreglass shell. Looking to spend up to $5000 depending on what is being sold. Would pay $5000 for a fairly average buggy, registered, doesnt need
resto but could do with one. Thanks.

Keep your eye on the mag Just Cars they do come up in there from time to time and I have seen them as cheap as $1500 running.
If you drive an early aircooled volkswagen be proud of it and have it powered by an aircooled engine!

Contact Chris of Idlewidle Off Road on 9248 6557. He may know of a buggy and he has a Manx mold
Try Hector on 9305 2885. That may be an old number. If it is say so here and I will get you current one. He has molds for a Manx clone and recently
offered to make one for me.

I don't know what a shell is worth, but if you get one made for you make sure that it is made at least 5mm thick and be prepared to pay extra for the
extra thickness. Genuine authorised Manx shells cost up to $5000 a few years ago. One of the ways to identify a genuine Manx from a clone is that a
genuine Manx shell is made very strongly out of thick fibreglass. Also the Australian Design Rules require a minimum thickness of 3mm without the
gellcoat and a test piece 3mm thick, less gellcoat for testing.
Also be aware that new buggy built with a newly made body on a newly shortened pan is considered to be a new car and is classified an an Individually
Constructed vehicle and all of the 2004 ADRs apply.
Before spending any money research what you are proposing as new a short wheel base buggy is now very difficult to get registered. Not impossible, but
very difficult.
