That is incredibly cool!

I've loved those Meyers Manx since I was a kid too, I didn't realise you could still get them.

It'll be a shame if they still need a VW chassis, I suspect they will be a bit thin on the ground these days.

The kit still uses a beetle floorpan, couldnt find any mention of the assembled versions.
