 |
|
I think I am getting his buggy from my uncle. He bought it and we discussed it, he’s gonna take the engine and I am gonna buy the rest. But like most other non Manx buggies identification is always tricky. I have already visited DBA to no avail.
Anyone have any ideas on pedigree?

Look at X0045 on the D B Archives. The very unique tail is the same, the sharp corners and very pronounced wiper bosses look the same. Dash looks same. What do you think?

Yeah I looked at that one. But there was just not enough similarities to make me convinced it was the same |

Yeah it does look very similar. Is there a link or a site where this is on. I would like to see more photos of it. |

so i contacted a fellow in Quebec who has one for sale.
besides the soft top and the dash appearing different, the rest looks exactly the same.
he said the guy he bought it from said the manufacture was SMS American.
anyone know about that manufacture?? |
