Italian MOMO Buggy
Of all the Kyote clones I have seen this example of the Italian Momo
buggy has to be the closest thing to the Dean Jeffries Mantaray II Kyote
ever cast in fibreglass. According to James
Hale, the original design utilized Citroen 2CV pod-lights {similar
to Manx style headlights} mounted on the fenders ahead of where they should
be. I totally agree with him when he stated in his article
in the January 2002 TOTAL VW magazine
"Just one look at the Momo brochure is enough to make you realize that
this was a great way to ruin an otherwise perfectly balanced design".
Fortunately for us Serge did the only decent thing and installed the proper
type of front end lighting. This one change and the excellent work put
into this car has resulted in an outstanding example of a fine looking
buggy.
