I've installed them all, but a few, and anything left over goes with the buggy Original metallic flake finish recently restored with gelcoat. Street Legal Manx Buggy. Lots of work went into ensuring the essentials work great. We needed a reliable, strong, fun buggy that would go to work if needed. From the wipers to the emergency brake, from the headlight brights to the trailer lights. Turn signals too, it's all good.

Pick up or shipping (responsibility of buyer)On Jul-19-10 at 15:00:42 PDT, seller added the following information: We have received a couple of questions regarding the Manx tag/number. As I have noted in the previously posted question, she came with no documentation. We have been told by Adams and Fisher that the tags and or documentation gets lost over the years and/or is NOT always in exactly the same location on every car. They have said that to the best of their expertise, this is a Manx. In addition, the original top that was the template was confirmed by the car upholsterer in WPB to be, indeed, original, and the windows that fit it are the ones you are receiving with the car and its extras.
