Vehicle Description
1974 Meyers ManxThe Meyers Manx dune buggy is a small
recreationally-oriented automobile, designed initially for desert
racing by Californian engineer, artist, boat builder and surfer
Bruce F. Meyers. It was produced by his Fountain Valley, California
company, B. F. Meyers & Co. from 1964 to 1971, in the form of car
kits applied to shortened chassis of Volkswagen Beetles. The car
line dominated dune racing in its time, breaking records
immediately, and was eventually also released in street-oriented
models, until the company's demise due to tax problems after
Meyers's departure. New vehicles inspired by the original Manx
buggy have been produced by Meyers's re-founded operation, Meyers
Manx, Inc., since 2000. The name and cat logo of the brand derives
from the Manx cat, by virtue of the tailless breed's and the
shortened vehicle's truncated "stubbiness" This 1974 Meyers Manx is
a custom blue metallic paint with black leather interior. Driven by
a flat 4 cylinder 1.6L engine. Showing 37,720 miles, this 4 speed
manual, open air buggy is a ton of fun and ready for you. Add to
this vehicle is a skid plate, custom exhaust. Riddler 20 inch
wheels with Vercelli tires at 225/35ZR20 in the front and
275/35ZR20 in the rear for more of a street setup and ready for
around town cruising.
