Hi,

Bought me a real Meyers Manx last weekend.

A dream came true.
Chassis from 1966. This Manx was build in november 1968.

very nice Gert!!!

One request...please put some different front signal/parking lights on it.

Looks like you picked up a great find.

No doubt, for a 40yr old buggy that's as about as nice as they get.

You're right. On TheSamba.com I also read these are not original. Can someone post some pictures of the original signal/parking lights?

And first thing I have to do; remove the 'mudflaps'.

a couple of variations might be considered original.
1 is the stock early VW running lights

other is a lucas light or light from a karmann ghia that mount on the front edge of each fender. of course I can't find a picture right now...figures. Thye'r esmaller than what you currently have.

GregR,

Thanks! So I have to look for Karmann Ghia lights. 8-)

What's a lucas light?

Does the yellow Manx above have Cragar wheels?

by **GregR** » 09 Mon Jun, 2008 3:34 pm

they are smaller round lights (similar to what you have) made by Lucas electrics in the UK MG's etc used them.

found a picture

Thanks again. I think the Lucas lights look better than the Karmann Ghia lights for me.
