Estimate:
$15,000 - $18,000
Offered from a private collectionThe sleek modern evolution of
Bruce Meyers's original ManxDesign inspiration from the Porsche
914Volkswagen drivetrain
Following the success of his original Manx, the first production
"dune buggy," Bruce Meyers introduced several further variations,
also based upon used Beetle drivetrains with fiberglass bodywork.
Among his creations was the Manx SR, standing for "street
roadster," which borrowed some of its design ideas from the Porsche
914 and, in some ways, foretold the Lamborghini Countach in its
dramatic wedge-shaped bodywork with "frogeye" headlamps. The SR was
actually featured on the cover of the May 1970 issue of Car &
Driver. The example offered here has been part of its current
owner's collection for many years, and with mechanical service
would surely be entertaining for taking to the dunes.
Please note vehicle is being sold with title in transit.
