Meyers Manx

As we already know, the Meyers Manx is a classic as dune buggies go. Bruce Meyers’ rudimentary fiberglass 2-seater is regarded among most as the car that defined the entire dune buggy industry. Amazingly, the very first 1964 Meyers Manx is still in great shape, and Jay Leno managed to spend some quality time with the 88-year-old Meyers for a ride in the classic buggy.

In 1964, Bruce Meyers created the world’s first fiberglass dune buggy, the Meyers Manx, and Meyers Manx has built more than 7,000 dune buggies since then. The car has such an important place in U.S. automotive history that, in May of 2014, the Historic Vehicle Association recognized the 1964 Meyers Manx as part of the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Heritage Documentation.
