Manx

Annemarie Driver, the Curator of the Canberra Bicycle Museum said:-

Didn't know they had it! It looks very much like one that we have in our collection. It is rare because I don't know of any others around, and it is significant because it goes to show that recumbents are not a new idea.
The one we have has MANX written quite clearly on it and a small badge on the front says
PATENT APPLIED FOR No 574 1937.
We think that it was made in Australia, possibly WA.
