Did Bruce Meyers supply Manxs for the 1968 Motor Trend 500 at Riverside? Or did Mario Andretti bring his own to use as a run-about car around the track?

I wouldn't repost Chip's Manx... but he put a joke on the identification board I found amusing... instead of saying Lone Wolf/No Club, as is traditional, he put Foot. As in club foot?

Well, it's also nice to see it out of the SEMA convention halls. See https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2023/10/great-looking-manx-with-porsche-accents.html for a close up gallery from 2023 SEMA

 

Mod Top Manx... great colors!

the 3rd Manx at SEMA this year

 

When I said there were 2 Meyers Manx at SEMA, I was right, there were only 2, this isn't a Manx, it's a Manxter 2+2 new kit.... I haven't read anything yet about this one, but I looked it up, now the only question, is why is the license plate from Nicaragua

I was able to stop by the stadium just as they were packing up and leaving, so, there weren't many cars still there, but this 75 Manx SR2 was not yet packed into Murray Pfaff's trailer

 

news to me, some cars that left the factory made of fiberglass that aren't Corvettes

The Lotus Elan, 1962-1999. The Lotus Esprit 1976-2004. The Lotus Elise, 1996-2021

The DeLorean, unknown to me, the stainless steel outer skin, are actually fixed to a fiberglass monocoque, which was then attached to a steel frame.

The Meyers Manx, won't surprise anyone to be made of fiberglass... but it simply hadn't occurred to me to think of it when discussing fiberglass sports cars. And it is. 

BMW Z1, 1989, 90 and 91surprises me. I haven't ever heard about it being made of fiberglass

Lancia Stratos, 1973-78 is another complete surprise.

Also, Reliant Robin, Volvo P1900, the Marcos (Thanks to comments and emails for these!)

Meyer's Manx Baja racer

Meyers Manx dune buggies celebrated the car’s 60th anniversary with a parade lap at the Goodwood Revival.

Among the Manx, was the 1st built, and the Thomas Crown Affair driven by Steve McQueen, and the radial engine Manx I recently posted about. https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2024/04/a-radial-engine-developed-for-light.html

the interesting cars in the Disney movie The Worlds Strongest Man

 

notice the Cougar parked on the left

Looks like they disguised the Meyers Manx badge with a 60's flower sticker

1949 Rolls Royce, it was also in the Love Bug! https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-love-bug-scenes-in-san-francisco.html

and what is amazing is that the Rob Reisner Bathtub show car showed up in the scan of Dexter's (Kurt Russell) mind

with the bikini model, of course

Matt Dillon and a Meyers Manx. That got my attention
