[/QUOTE] Yours were much nicer Mel...much more Manx-like... My mate Angelo just bought a slightly faded 'flake red one off Rob to build for his kid.

Dave, I prefer those Spatz ones myself, that little thing I made would not hold us BIG KIDS
That little Spatz looks real cute from the front,, seems to lose it a bit on the rear end IMO, but Im guessing that big flat part was made like that to house a motor. Looks like a one piece mold too, unlike mine. Not sure about the copywrite bit, seems crazy to me as the inspiration obviously came from a full size model that as far as Im aware had no copywrite back in 69
I could be wrong there, but ship it over & I'll take my chances :driving:
mini buggy went fast

A guy told me today that copies of these Spatz mini buggies are about to be molded in USA. Anyone know about this?
