Volkswagen Buggy Meyers Manx, 1967. Two owners, 1,043 km, service
books from new.
Picture the sun low over the water, salt on your lips, a board
strapped to the back and nowhere in particular to be. That is the
world the Meyers Manx was born into, and without a doubt it remains
one of the most iconic and influential recreational cars of the
1960s. The model was designed by the visionary American Bruce
Meyers, a surfer, artist and engineer who wanted to create a car
that fitted the Californian beach culture perfectly. In 1964 the
first Meyers Manx saw the light of day, a revolutionary dune buggy
built on a shortened Volkswagen Beetle chassis with a lightweight
fibreglass body.
The Meyers Manx grew into a global phenomenon at lightning speed.
Thanks to its playful character, excellent off-road ability and
minimalist design, the buggy became a symbol of freedom, adventure
and lifestyle. Thousands of buggies were built during the 1960s and
1970s, but only a small proportion of those are original,
certificated Meyers Manx examples. Today these cars are highly
sought after by collectors and lovers of unique classics.
This particular example from December 1967 represents the pure
essence of the model: light, agile, full of character and
unrivalled fun to drive.
This Meyers Manx is in absolutely as-new condition and has been
completely rebuilt with an eye for originality and detail. With
just 1,043 km covered since the rebuild, the car presents itself as
a rare opportunity for the enthusiast seeking a top-quality
buggy.
