I need some help in IDing this buggy I bought. I imported it from California and have no clue as to what kind it is. The previous owner said it was a Manx.

Can't help you with ID'ing you buggy but it sure is nice. Where at in Houston are you?

without the Manx badge on the front or an ID tag displaying the Manx manufacturing info, I would question whether it is a Manx (somewhat rare) or a Manx-clone (not rare)...

Thanks for all your help guys... it looks as if I have a Safari Trail 2 type dune buggy.
I live east of Houston - in Katy Texas.
I have another buggy that I bought that I will post later - a little two seater - red.

8 years later and here's a few more bugs that I have stored in the garage.  Wife is threatening me because her car now sits outside.

The Manx SR is a great addition! What on earth is that awesome grey one in the foreground? I've never seen anything like it, but now I want one!

| Can't help with the ID except that it isn't a Manx. Interesting that you're in Katy, "east" of Houston. I live in Katy too... but I'm west of Houston! I'm told there are several buggies here, but I never see them.... and you have three. I'm glad one of us is keeping the neighborhood right. Anyway, nice garage! |
