Story This is just as I bought it, all done and ready to go. I also have a VW trike and liked that a lot so when I had a chance to buy this I went for it.

Story Bought as a project having owned a Manx previously. Didn't know what it was so have been doing a bit of research and think it is a Spatz. Can not find any others in the Uk so any help regarding it would be great. Seen a couple of pics of buggies with Spatz badging,are they available? It was originally green metalflake gel but is now painted in glow in the dark paint. Spooky!
