 The original Meyers Manx dune buggy was designed by Californian engineer, artist, and surfer Bruce Meyers. It was built by his company between 1964 and 1971.
The car featured a fiberglass bodyshell coupled with Volkswagen Beetle frame and engine. It is a tiny car, with a wheelbase 14 1/4 inches shorter than a Beetle for lightness and better maneuverability. For this reason, the car is capable of very quick acceleration and good off-road performance.
The Meyers Manx received widespread recognition when it won the inaugural Baja 1000 race, the predecessor of the Baja 1000 and beating motorcycles, cars and trucks in the process.
Approximately 5,000 of the original Meyers Manx dune buggies were produced, but when the design became popular many look-alikes (estimated at a quarter of a million worldwide) were made by other companies. Since then countless buggies continue to be produced today. Many people recognize this body-type simply as the Dune Buggy, Beach Buggy, Manix Buggy, Manex Buggy, Minx Buggy, Tub Buggy, Manxter, Toad, Tow'd, or Towd.
