What on Earth is this thing? If you haven’t heard of the Meyers Manx, we don’t blame you. This curio is based on a shortened VW Beetle chassis, and was initially designed for desert racing. The product of Californian surfer Bruce F. Meyers, the Manx does indeed look like a Beetle if you squint. This particular 1962 Meyers Manx is up for sale with a mere 35,000 miles on the clock. So, if you want something quirky and playful, give us a call.
Exterior and Interior
This orange 1962 Meyers Manx reportedly sports its original gel coat paintwork, as told to us by the current owner. The vehicle truly looks distinctive, with its podded headlamps, fully exposed wheels, and minimalistic bodywork. There is a canvas top and sides, but rest assured, these are mainly cosmetic rather than functional; they won’t stop a tropical thunderstorm or snow shower. The vehicle is said to come with new 14-inch wheels and tires, which are street units at the front and off-road ones at the rear. There’s also a dual exhaust for a more sporty soundtrack. The interior of this 1962 Meyers Manx, if you can call it an interior, is a two-seat affair. Its highlights are its two seats, a twin-spoke steering wheel, minimalistic gauges, three pedals, and a wood-topped gear shifter. You’ll find some switches for lighting but little else. After all, this isn’t a modern, digital-era vehicle. So don’t expect massage seats with heating and ventilation, Apple CarPlay, or Android Auto. If you really need some tunes, a Bluetooth speaker is the way to go – just make sure that it’s a rugged, waterproof unit since the interior can and will get dirty if you drive this 1962 Meyers Manx in the right fashion.
Engine
This 1962 Meyers Manx has a 1,500cc four-cylinder engine in its tail. We’re told that the engine has been bored out and sports oversized pistons for even more punch. Power goes to the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission. The brakes have also been reportedly redone, so you can enjoy the vehicle to the maximum.

Back in the 70s, Volkswagen was on a roll with its offerings; its air-cooled lineup of vehicles marked peace amidst troubled times. Out of all the quirky machines leaving factory floors, the Volkswagen Beetle was the king of them all. While the Beetle was iconic, it set the foundation for Bruce F Meyers to create what would be one of the most unique machines built to date, the iconic Dune buggy. Built to whizz past the toughest obstacles and come out looking stylish, owning a dune buggy is a treat. Present today is this lovely 1974 Volkswagen Meyers Manx Dune Buggy; it's a rare piece of machinery and has a reported 37,720 miles on the clock.
