Volkswagen Buggy Meyers Manx, 1970. Six owners, 34 km, service
books from new.
Picture this: the Pacific Coast Highway stretches out ahead, the
sun is high, and you are grinning behind the wheel of one of the
most iconic recreational cars ever built. The Volkswagen Buggy
Meyers Manx earns that grin. Its foundation lies with Volkswagen,
the brand that made its name worldwide on the indestructible
engineering of the Beetle. Back in the 1960s, designer and surfer
Bruce Meyers spotted the perfect opportunity: build a light,
playful beach car on top of the reliable Volkswagen Beetle
platform.
And so the Meyers Manx was born, the original dune buggy. A
shortened chassis, an ultra-light polyester body and Volkswagen's
air-cooled boxer engine came together to create a driving
experience like no other. This buggy became a symbol of freedom,
sunshine, sand and adventure. In California the Manx grew into a
cultural icon and even won off-road races such as the famous Baja
events.
With its simple engineering, timeless design and enormous fun
factor, the Volkswagen Buggy Meyers Manx is today a much-loved
collector's piece and a true classic with rising popularity among
enthusiasts and collectors alike.
The Volkswagen Buggy Meyers Manx offered here, dating from December
1970, is in absolutely as-new condition. With only 34 kilometres on
the clock since it was built, this is an exceptionally fresh and
barely used example.
The story continues on our website, where the full file is kept as
well. 78 photographs including the underside. The service history,
scanned in full. The Carfax report. A timeline from 10 December
1970 to today, with every owner and the mileage year by year in a
single graph.
Every car here follows the same route: first pre-market, then the
showroom, and finally the online auction on our own website. What
changes is the way you buy, not the location - once a car has
arrived, it stays with us in Katwijk. This one is in the showroom
and you are welcome to come and see it, no appointment needed. You
buy it here at a fixed price: no bidding, no waiting. Our showroom
in Katwijk, 30 km from Amsterdam Schiphol, is open Mon-Fri 9-18 and
Sat 10-17. Call ahead and it will be standing ready, with someone
free for you.
Within the EU no customs duty arises on this purchase. Registration
tax and registration costs in your own country are not included. We
