Considering a change of direction so offering this buggy body shell for sale. It is a Manx 1 made for me a couple of years ago by Rob at East Coast. Finished in Meadowbrook Brilliant Bordeaux .025 flake with separate black dash. It has been trial fitted and holes drilled for floorpan fixings and 1200 Beetle rear lights, otherwise as supplied and unused. Very hard to properly capture the
appearance of the flake in photos.
Cost me around £1500 plus the cost of 5kg of flake as it was not a stock colour.
Hoping for around £1250?
Thanks for looking

Don't think you'll have any trouble shifting that! It's gorgeous! 8) are you still gonna build a buggy??
Yes, just going to go with a different colour if possible. I love this colour and spent months choosing it from hundreds of options but having lived with it over the last couple of years I realise it is too close the the House of Kolors flake I used on the JAS buggy I did in the early 2000s. I am really not going to do another one so though I should probably go for the change now while the chassis is coming together rather than once it is finished.

No it's a regular Manx shell, they're all short wheelbase.
Sorry, thought I had replied on here as well as VZI. For chassis shortened by 14 3/4"

Hi
Is this a certified Manx, does it have tags and badges?
Thanks

If it's one of Rob's then it won't be tagged but it will be top quality and probably the last one to be pulled from his Signiture/Classic Manx mold.
Thanks David. Sorry, have not had a chance to get back here since last bump.
Really facncy, but my chassis has been modded cor a GP2 shell:153/4" .

It'll fit that length chassis with only a little bit of trimming. Julian's old Manx 2 started life as an old Rat.
IMO it will look all the better for being shorter. Will tuck the front wheels under the arches a little more. The original Manx had a 78" wheelbase which is even smaller still
Hi. I guess as I was linked here from elsewhere on the forum this is still up for grabs?

Yes, currently still available but my floorpan is coming together. Was hoping to sell this one and get another done in a different colour but will push on with it if no takers.
Ta for the info. I'm trying to decide which model to go for; when I mentioned purple metalflake I got directed here. My only concern is that I wanted pods but I guess as it's a custom colour it's going to be very difficult to match the tone and the flake. I guess you'll keep us posted as to you decision as to sell or not?
I had to buy 5kg of flake when the shell was made and I still have about 3kg left. I am sure Rob could do you a pair of matching pods if you wanted. I will update the thread one I have committed to using this shell.
Last call for the shell before it gets bolted down. Got to this point at the end of last year but then progress ground to a halt
