Manx 2 sticker?

I'm just curious but does anyone have a better photo of this original type of Manx2 hood sticker?

Thanks, Dave.

I know it was a while back but I'd still be interested if anyone's got a better pic. I can't quite work out the exact wording of the row of small letters underneath.

I saw one of those on a Manx 2 body that was sitting in the showroom of Bugformance in Sunnyvale in 1970. I don't think I've seen another in person since. I'd sure like to see an original one up close.

I think you posted this before but its digital and I don't know who did it or whether the artist copied an original or just wagged it

That's one that a friend mocked up for me, I don't think it's quite right though.

Someone must have a good pic of one somewhere.

David gave me a heads up on these currently on auction, a NOS Manx 2 sticker. B F Meyers & Company is upper and lower case letters. The plastic rear Manx emblem had a chrome face. The other item in the plastic bag is the fabric fender welting that was used between the hood and the body(vinyl VW welting works better)

Wow! $1005.99 shipped for a decal and a rear badge.... that is borderline crazy.

I wonder if the high bidder wants the NOS Manx II body I have to go with it.....

I was watching both of his auctions. He also had an NOS front badge that sold for $796! I'm shocked. Now I'm wondering what mine might bring (it's not NOS, but it's an original). I've also got the original on my current Manx, and I'm thinking of pulling it off for safe keeping now.... Crazy!

I was watching these items too.

And it makes me wonder, does the old phrase "It is only worth what someone will pay" stand?

Everyone is gifted. Some just do not open the package.

Looks like it was painted with a live chicken,polished with a brick and buffed with a pine cone

I'm thinking that sticker went for so much because it was in it's original unopened packaging with a pretty cool story.

That's a lot of money, but collectors are weird like that.

It was a cool story, it was lost and forgotten under that bench for 40 years.

Nothing that I've ever dragged out from under my bench has ever been worth that...lol...

And now we know who bought it: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1305228

This one's been for sale for quite a while, and I can see why he wanted it. His price was $5000 for a while, and has gone up over the last year or so. It was at $5750 prior to adding the NOS badges, so who knows what he's asking now.

I am NOT knocking his price, as I'm definitely not an expert on them, so please don't think I'm doing that.

I wouldn't either Marc. I'd buy the one out in Boise that already has the complete chassis and body, with an unknown condition motor for $4k. I can't believe he hasn't sold that one yet. If I had the funds to buy it, I would have done so. I'm kind of kicking myself in a few ways for not getting it instead of the purple metalflake hack job I bought, but I only bought it for the chassis and built trans that came with it, along with all the guages, etc... that I'm going to use on the unknown body I picked up last week.

I'm only making a logical assumption. He's had that one advertised for a while, without ever mentioning the sticker/badges. The week after the auction closes, he's changed his ad, deleted the price, and now posted pictures that are of the exact same product.

Yes, he may have had them sitting around, saw the auction, and decided that he should have posted pictures.

Not trying to start anything here. Just thought it was too coincidental to not assume that.

I know that gold body. I had a chance to buy it for $1800 and past on it. It is the thinnest body I ever saw. Pick up one corner and it would flex a lot. It doesn't have the tubes under the fenders and as I remember the id tag didn't seem right. Add to that it was dragged across the floor on it's side scraping the fenders. It now looks like it is being stored outside. Besides that it is a great body.
