Hi guy's, where would I find all the different color's for the Manx and the code, Mine is a lime green and I'm not sure I like it or not, right now it is black, but the gel coat is lime green:roll: is there any way to tell how many came in that color, plus some where here I saw where their was about 6000 manx 1 built and a few manx 2, now is that just he in the state's or is that world wide. thanks

A list of all the color codes is printed on the back of the Manx registry. Lime Green is a great color for a Manx, I have one. There is no record of how many were made in each color. You could go through the registry and get an idea of what colors were common and which weren't. There were more Manx's built than Manx 2s, but Bruce left the company while they were still making Manx 2s and doesn't have a good idea of how many were made. It was more than a few Manx 2s. Australian and British made Meyers Manxs are a whole different story.

I'm not real sure but I've only seen a couple dozen or so Manxs registered from Australia and even fewer from the UK. I believe those were the only two places Bruce had licensed someone to make Meyers Manxs. There are several Brits and Australians on this board regularly that can give you a better answer. Here is a picture of Old Manxs lime green manx. It is one of the oldest Manxs around, after the monocoques, also one of the most used.

I think there were 40 or 41 authorized British Manxes made, not sure about Australian ones but there are also French, South African and maybe New Zealand ones (not 100% on that last one...)
