Few vehicles have captured the spirit of adventure quite like the Meyers Manx. Born in the 1960s and hand-crafted by the visionary Bruce Meyers, this lightweight, fiberglass dune buggy didn't just redefine off-road fun-it sparked a cultural movement. From conquering the Baja 1000 to inspiring an entire generation of off-road enthusiasts, the Manx became the gold standard for open-air, go-anywhere excitement. Now, after decades of imitations, the original icon is back, reborn with modern refinements while staying true to its legendary roots.
At first glance, the new Meyers Manx is unmistakable. Its signature fiberglass body remains faithful to the classic design, with smooth, flowing curves and a stance that radiates pure adventure. A solid blue "Big Sur" gel-coat finish accentuates its bold lines, while front and rear bumpers add both style and function. Underneath, a reinforced and powder-coated 1964 Volkswagen Beetle chassis provides the perfect foundation-lightweight, durable, and built to take on the terrain with ease.
But this isn't just a nostalgia piece-it's a machine built to perform. Powering this reborn legend is an all-new, all-aluminum, air-cooled 1904cc flat-four, breathing through dual 44 Weber carburetors for instant throttle response. The unmistakable bark of the Sidewinder exhaust is pure hot-rod aggression. That power is channeled through a Transaxle Engineering 4-speed manual, delivering an authentic, hands-on driving experience that rewards enthusiasts with every shift.
Off-road capability is where the Manx has always reigned supreme, and this latest iteration is no exception. A short wheelbase, lightweight construction, and upgraded Bilstein shocks make it an agile weapon over dunes, trails, and twisty backroads. Beefy all-terrain tires grip whatever surface lies ahead, while four-wheel EMPI disc brakes ensure confident stopping power. It's a machine built to handle the elements and keep the adventure going.
Inside, the cockpit seamlessly blends classic charm with modern convenience. A trio of Speedhut gauges feature a GPS speedometer and a three-spoke steering wheel brings the past to life, while a hidden USB port under the dash ensures you stay connected. And should you decide to add some music to your adventures, this Manx Buggy is pre-wired for a radio system. The driving position is pure Manx, and features bucket seats with a handsome plaid pattern. Skid plates and increased ground clearance mean you can tackle the roughest trails without hesitation. And a Sombrero top gives the driver and passenger refuge from intense sunrays or pesky precipitation.
Owning a Meyers Manx isn't just about having a car-it's about joining a legacy. This is the buggy that started it all, the one that set the standard, and the one that still defines what it means to truly experience the road less traveled. Whether you're carving up the coastline, storming the dunes, or simply cruising into a car show with undeniable style, this modern Manx is the ultimate expression of freedom on four wheels.
