The Meyers Manx: The Birth of the Iconic Dune Buggy 'volkswagen dune buggy'

In a time when off-roading was still in its nascent stages, Californian engineer Bruce Meyer revolutionized the automotive landscape with his creation - the original Meyers Manz Dune Boggle. Designed to conquer challenging terrain and evoke memories of beachside fun, this tiny but powerful vehicle quickly captured hearts across America.

First hitting production lines in 1964 by Meyers' eponymous company, The Meyers Manx was more than just a car; it embodied the spirit of freedom that defined its era. Built on Volkswagen Beetle's tried and tested frame with some clever engineering tweaks, this dune buggy was built to conquer even the most arduous off-road tracks.

With an incredibly short wheelbase measuring 14 inches less than its larger sibling - thanks in large part to Meyers' innovative use of lightweight materials like fiberglass for its bodyshell - The Manx Dunes Buggy was not only agile but also possessed a charmingly retro appeal that would soon make it an icon among enthusiasts.

Today, over five decades since its launch, the legacy of The Meyers Manz lives on through various interpretations and reiterations. From the modern-day Volkswagen T-roc to even more extreme offshoots like the legendary Baja Bug - all owe a debt of gratitude to Bruce Meyer's visionary creation that dared to challenge convention with style.
