The Meyers Manx dune buggy came from the brilliant mind of Californian Bruce F. Meyers. Mr. Meyers was an engineer, boat builder, artist, tinkerer, surfer and amateur desert racer who would spark a kit-car craze of the 60s. Meyers designed and built a VW-based dune-buggy that was equally at home on the beach, the street, or racing through the desert. Drawing on his boat building experience. Bruce Meyers’ dune buggy made headlines in 1967 when it scored a surprise win at the 1967 Mexican 1000 desert race, and soon the dune buggy craze had taken off. The original Meyers Manx remains a cult-classic, and authentic early examples are prized by enthusiasts and collectors alike.

This wonderful Meyers Manx is a verified original example complete with a certificate of authenticity issued by the Meyers Manx Registry. Presented in metallic maroon with a black bucket seat interior,this is fabulous example of the iconic dune buggy. This restored Manx shows in excellent condition, with very good paintwork both inside and out, and a number of charming period details. It features The classic raked stance is achieved through “big and little” steel wheels and Cooper white letter tires. The wheels use VW hubcaps and have been beautifully finished in cream to provide a pleasing accent to the Maroon paint.

Power comes from a freshly rebuilt 1600cc VW engine . The “go” is given some “show” by the Stainless Show Bar, and a chrome exhaust system. The engine runs stron, sending power through a VW 4-speed transaxle. The rear suspension has been upgraded to a ’68 Style VW independent.

This example captures the Manx idea with its pure, period correct nature. The interior consists of a pair of fixed-back bucket seats trimmed in black vinyl, and the just the basic controls you need for road use, and nothing else to distract you from the joy of driving. Instrumentation includes the OEM VW speedo cluster. All of the electrical features work properly – lights, horn, wipers, tail lights, brake lights, etc.

Driving the Manx is an absolute blast: The engine makes ample power, and the short wheelbase and lively, direct steering give it kart-like responses. This certified authentic Manx is an outstanding example whether you’re in a show, on the road or cruising the beach. ! It’s titled as a 1966 Volkswagen.
