Original Owner B.F. Meyers & Co. Buggies
I'd like to put a list together of B.F. Meyers & Co. buggies(made 1964-1971) which are still owned by the original builder/first owner or their family. I apologize for omitting anyone I should have known but I'd really appreciate if anyone can add to it, just from memory these are owners I can recall;

Yes you're right, Bruce sold Old Red, but he was the original builder and he owns it now.

Excellent, that's 10! I know there are more out there!

Nelson, you might consider hitting the little facebook link on this thread and posting it on the facebook page (referring them back to this thread). I know of at least 2 or 3 on this coast. They probably haven't seen your post.
