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!
