This Meyers Manx SR (Serial #41 of approx 200) was on the cover in Jan. 1972 of High Performance Cars Magazine. It was built by Motion Mini Cars which was a division of Motion Performance. This was Joel Rosen's personal car for a while and then Bill Mitchell. Bill Mitchell built the stroked motor for it and used it as a tow car to haul his dragsters to the strip. SEE ATTACHED ARTICLE FOR MORE INFORMATION.

The paint/ body/ interior are 100% original. Car still wore the original Polyglas tires when I aquired it. Only 7,100 miles.

Current photos also attached.

Thanks!

Sean

It defintly isn't the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a Motion car.. but it is cool and really goes to show how widely versed Motion was back then. Motion could build you a bad-ass "anything". http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Tow-truck.. Blazer.. Van.. VW Buggy.. and even a Corvette, Camaro or Nova or two..http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif and many more!! Joel Rosen definitly wasn't one of the "followers" or "run of the mill" like alot of them were back in the day. I think that is why the Motion cars will always be my personal favorite http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif Make mine Oldsmobile http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif

That's a neat ride. I kinda was expecting to see a worked Olds 455 with a THM425 transaxle out back.

That thing is the bee's knee's http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif
