Product Description
- Sand dune paddling using cars is a pastime that became popular on the west coast of the United States in the 1960s.
- It would later develop into a separate category of motorsport, and racing vehicles made to run in the desert were collectively called dune buggies.
- The Meyers Manx is one of them, which is made by taking the chassis of a VW Type 1 (the first generation Beetle), shortening the dimensions at the front and rear, and mounting a lightweight fiberglass open body on top of it.
- Similar models were released by many manufacturers, but the one that stood out for its high quality was the Meyers Manx, made by BF Meyers & Co., a California-based company led by Bruce Meyers.
- The Meyers Manx was made as a racing car, but many young people also enjoyed driving it on public roads.
- BF Meyers & Co. built around 6,000 Meyers Manxes between 1964 and 1971 before going out of business, but was revived under a different owner in 2000 and now also produces electric versions.
