Volkswagen Buggy Meyers Manx - Iconic Classic in As-New Condition

The name Volkswagen Buggy Meyers Manx instantly conjures images of sun-drenched beaches, freedom and the purest driving pleasure. The origins of this legendary buggy go back to the early 1960s, when designer and surfer Bruce Meyers developed a revolutionary concept based on the dependable platform of the Volkswagen Beetle. The result: a light, agile and playful beach buggy with a unique fibreglass body.

The Meyers Manx swiftly grew into a cultural icon. Thanks to its excellent handling, low weight and rugged Volkswagen engineering, the buggy won over both leisure drivers and off-road enthusiasts alike. In the United States it became world-famous after impressive performances in desert races such as the Baja 1000.
Here in Britain, too, the buggy found its way to lovers of classic cars and remarkable recreational vehicles. This particular example has an original Dutch body, which makes it all the more appealing to collectors and purists. The rare and much-loved classic Goldi specification underlines the exclusive character of this Meyers Manx.

A unique sight with a rich history

With just 70 kilometres on the clock since the build, this buggy is in exceptional as-new condition. The vehicle has barely been used and still radiates all the freshness and purity of a recently built classic.
The stunning Gold Flake Metallic paint gives the buggy a spectacular presence in the sunshine. Combined with the black interior and the red wheels, the result is a timeless, sporty look that suits the playful character of the Meyers Manx perfectly.

The manual gearbox delivers a direct and involving driving experience, exactly as a classic buggy should. Every trip feels like a little holiday, whether you are cruising along the coast, arriving at an event or simply enjoying a summer's day tour.

Condition and experience

The condition of this Volkswagen Buggy can, without exaggeration, be called sublime. Both mechanically and cosmetically, the car is in a state that is rarely seen. Thanks to the minimal use since the build, wear and ageing are almost non-existent.

For enthusiasts and collectors seeking an almost-new classic Meyers Manx, this is a unique opportunity. This is a buggy that not only breathes history, but also stands ready to create new memories.
