Anyone else jonesing for the Meyers Manx reissue?

I took a little sunny day joyride last Monday to shoot fresh pics of my little toy car.

'68 vintage tags were a Christmas gift from me to the car last year:

Dash panel was signed by Bruce @ Import Carlisle 2009(car was at home):

Stopped by the Rolling Bones Hot Rod Shop while out and about:

Super nice looking buggy, Dave. Now you make me really miss my IMP.

I feel like it has been 4 years since I first heard it was being repopped. if I had known it was going to take this long I would have shelled out the going rate for an original.hopefully this has been the last push back and we really will see it in november just in time for winter.

I got a virgin original kit about 8 years ago, and I'm nearly ready to make a replica of my original 1:1 out of it; the longest delay was getting the 'flake paint right.

I'm just hoping to pick up one or two of the reissues to help offset the price I paid for my original.

It's been within the last 6 or 7 years, but Collectible Automobile Magazine had a feature article on Bruce Meyers and the Meyers Manx, with a lot of color pics. Worth trying to locate that issue, frankly.

I agree, the story was well-written and presented; IIRC, Car & Driver did a feature on Bruce a couple of years back as well. My wife and I recognized Bruce's workshop in a couple of the photos, which was a spot we got to visit/lend a hand while on vacation in SoCal a few years back.
