@psychojoker131 I have one. You can spend as little as $3000 or you can make you own and spend as much as you want. I have about $8000 in mine. Warning if you see one for sale for less than $2000 its most likely a p.o.s. These are kit car so there only as good as the one how built it. A good way to tell is to look at the wiring. If it looks like a birds nest steer clear. Also look for rusty floor pans and make sure that the seller didn't just spray undercoat over rust.
I wonder if this would be practical for daily transportation. My main concern would be leaving it unattended -- someone might switch the spark plug wires as a prank ha ha
i had a Salamander removable hard top buggy with a Golf GTI engine, stand up Stinger exhaust that got 140 but with weights on the front suspention cause it started to lift a bit and "float"
How often do you drive it on the street? We're thinking of buying one but don't want to buy a rig to tow it and would need to drive 1hr to the beach. Any advise?
Does anyone know if you could home build this type of buggy??? (or something similar) Anyone have or know where to get plans for this style of buggy???
Where did you get that top? I have a '68 buggy, same body, but in a cherry sparkle red, I am trying to get a top for it that doesn't look retarded, and yours looks awesome! Please let me know... Also, is that top always up? Or can you put it down too?
I own one in hawaii . Both full top and bikini top (white canvas on pink/burple )

@007Gofer Yea, I love these things but the potentially sketchy handling always put me off. How is it in practice?

Actually all of the Manx buggys are kits. Just google "Mayers Manx" and you'll find their site. Awesoem buggys.
