Seller's comments about 1964' Volkswagen Beach Buggy Manx
OFFERED FOR SALE IS THIS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING MANX BEACH BUGGY, ORIGONALLY BUILT BY FLATLANDS ENGINEERING AS THEIR VOLKSWORLD SHOW CAR ENTRY FOR 2010 WHERE IT WON A TOP 20 AWARD AND WAS SUBJECT TO A FULL FEATURE IN THE MAGAZINE THEREAFTER, THIS FEATURE CAN BE VIEWED ON THE FLATLANDS ENGINEERING.CO.UK WEBSITE IN THE GALLERY AND PUBLICATIONS SECTION... THE CAR HAS BEEN HOUSED IN A PRIVATE COLLECTION SINCE THEN AND HAS HAD VERY LITTLE USE SO IS STILL IN THE SAME IMMACULATE CONDITION AS IT WAS WHEN FIRST BUILT.
BASED ON A 1964 DONOR CAR THE CHASSIS HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY SHORTENED AND REBUILT WITH ALL NEW COMPONENTS THROUGHOUT, THE CHASSIS AND ALL COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN FINISHED TO SHOW STANDARD AND THE UNDERSIDE OF THIS CAR IS AS CLEAN AND HIGHLY DETAILED AS THE REST OF THE CAR,
ENGINE IS A BRAND NEW REMTECH 1641CC UNIT FITTED WITH GENUINE WEBER DUAL 34 CARBS AND 009 DISTRIBRUTOR FOR RELIABILITY, LOTS OF NICE DETAILS INCLUDING THE CAST ALLOY FINNED VALVE COVERS AND MATCHING AIR FILTERS, ENGINE RUNS LOVELY AND SMOOTH AND SOUNDS GREAT THANKS TO THE GENUINE CERAMIC COATED MANX SIDEWINDER EXHAUST SYSTEM.
WHEELS ARE VERY RARE APPLIANCE PACER ITEMS IN THE ORIGONAL CLASSIC "WIDE 5" STUD PATTERN FINISHED IN GLACIER WHITE WITH A SUBTLE METALFLAKE TO COMPLIMENT THE BODY COLOUR, DUAL WHITE BAND TYRES WERE A SPECIAL ORDER FROM THE STATES TO ACHEIVE THE CLASSIC BIG AND LITTLE LOOK BUT RETAIN A MATCHING TREAD PATTERN...
BODY SHELL IS FINISHED IN THE TRADITIONAL LARGE HEX METALFLAKE OPTION WHICH IS IN THE GEL COAT RATHER THAN PAINTED ON THIS GIVES THE ADVANTAGE OF BEING VERY HARD WEARING AND RESISTANT TO CHIPPING, THIS EXAMPLE WAS TAKEN TO THE NEXT LEVEL BY HAVING MULTIPLE COATS OF CLEAR LAQUER TO GIVE THE FINISH MORE DEPTH AND THE FLAKE MORE INTENSITY THE FINISH IS TRULY MIND BLOWING IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, THE SIDES OF THE TUB WERE ALSO SMOOTHED OUT TO LOSE THE GLASSFIBRE MATTING FINISH THIS AGAIN COMPLIMENTS THE SWOOPING LINES OF THE MANX BODY...
THIS CAR IS ALSO FITTED WITH A CUSTOM MADE REMOVABLE HARDTOP ROOF WITH HIDDEN FIXINGS, THIS ROOF WAS A ONE OFF FOR THIS CAR, NO COPIES MADE OR MOULDS PRODUCED.....
INTERIOR IS TRADITIONAL LOW BACK BUCKET SEATS FINISHED IN BLACK WITH WHITE PIPING AND DIAMOND STITCHED PANELS, SIMPLE AND CLASSY.... NOSTALGIC WOOD RIMMED GRANT STEERING WHEEL, CUSTOM MADE SWITCH PANEL BLENDED INTO CHASSIS SPINE TO ALLOW FOR THE CLEAN CUSTOM DASHBOARD LAYOUT USING ORIGONAL TYPE 3 INSTRUMENTS AND STAINLESS DETAIL TRIMS.... ANOTHER ONE OFF DETAIL FOR THIS CAR... INSTRUMENT BEZELS ALSO FINISHED IN WHITE TO MATCH THE CENTRE CAPS OF THE WHEELS....!
THE CAR WAS BUILT IN LEFT HAND DRIVE FORMAT PURELY BECAUSE THAT IS THE WAY THE ORIGONAL BODY WAS DESIGNED AND THE STRENGTHENING RIB IS MOULDED INTO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BODY TUB....
ALL IN ALL A STUNNING CAR WITH FIRST CLASS BUILD QUALITY IN SHOWROOM CONDITION READY TO DRIVE AWAY AND ENJOY THE SUMMER.....
