Seller's Notes

This Meyers Manx is an eye-catching and characterful classic beach buggy, which benefits from a significant previous rebuild. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 1.6-litre air-cooled flat-four, which sends its power to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. This example has been with the seller for four years. The odometer indicates 2,314 miles, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1966 This Manx is finished in an attractive shade of green with a contrasting gold racing stripe, over a black leatherette-trimmed interior, featuring chrome trim highlights. It rides on a set of 15-inch Fuchs polished alloy wheels fitted with Mastercraft Touring LSR tyres. Equipment includes chrome front bumper bars, a full roll cage, a central Le Mans-style fuel filler cap, an SAAS ‘R Spec’ steering wheel, Moon Equipped gauges, and a ‘Scat’ B&M-style gear knob. This example is understood to be fitted with a custom twin-exit exhaust system. The car comes with two keys. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: a full respray is understood to have been carried out in 2015, and a new interior has been fitted. The car’s last roadworthiness test was conducted on 13 February 2021, which is understood to have resulted in a clean pass. Technicians at Australian VW Performance Centre in Victoria carried out a significant rebuild in 2015, including a new interior being fitted, a full respray, and the engine being rebuilt. This Meyers Manx is a sought-after and attention-grabbing classic beach buggy, which benefits from a significant previous rebuild. Presented with an appealing colour scheme, iconic styling, and boasting a tastefully appointed cabin, a distinctive air-cooled flat-four engine, and a wonderful open-air driving experience, it would make a stand-out addition to any assembly of quirky classics, and a fantastic companion for fair-weather cruising, classic car show visits, and beach-side adventures alike.

Furthermore, photographs may not reflect the true colour or full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to satisfy themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy. This includes by raising enquiries with the seller in the comments section. For vehicles, unless otherwise stated, potential buyers should also assume that any cherished registration may be retained by the seller. Please see our Terms and Conditions for full details.
