The original dune buggy is the often copied but never outdone, iconic Meyers Manx. Created in 1964 by engineer, artist, and boat builder Bruce Meyers, the Manx helped define 1960s California culture. Built upon a shortened VW Beetle chassis, and seen in hit Hollywood movies, it’s commonly forgotten that the Manx is also steeped in racing heritage having beaten the speed record at the Baja 1000 in 1967. Today, Meyers Manx is back. Joined today by renowned designer Freeman Thomas who is the current CEO of Meyers Manx, we discuss the company and the Manx 2.0. An all new Electric Vehicle which is making a stir within the industry and fans of the classic car.
