Volkswagen Buggy Meyers Manx, 1970. Six owners, 34 km, service books from new.

Picture this: the Pacific Coast Highway stretches out ahead, the sun is high, and you are grinning behind the wheel of one of the most iconic recreational cars ever built. The Volkswagen Buggy Meyers Manx earns that grin. Its foundation lies with Volkswagen, the brand that made its name worldwide on the indestructible engineering of the Beetle. Back in the 1960s, designer and surfer Bruce Meyers spotted the perfect opportunity: build a light, playful beach car on top of the reliable Volkswagen Beetle platform.

And so the Meyers Manx was born, the original dune buggy. A shortened chassis, an ultra-light polyester body and Volkswagen's air-cooled boxer engine came together to create a driving experience like no other. This buggy became a symbol of freedom, sunshine, sand and adventure. In California the Manx grew into a cultural icon and even won off-road races such as the famous Baja events.

With its simple engineering, timeless design and enormous fun factor, the Volkswagen Buggy Meyers Manx is today a much-loved collector's piece and a true classic with rising popularity among enthusiasts and collectors alike.

The Volkswagen Buggy Meyers Manx offered here, dating from December 1970, is in absolutely as-new condition. With only 34 kilometres on the clock since it was built, this is an exceptionally fresh and barely used example.

The story continues on our website, where the full file is kept as well. 64 photographs including the underside. The service history, scanned in full. The Carfax report. A timeline from 10 December 1970 to today, with every owner and the mileage year by year in a single graph.

Every car here follows the same route: first pre-market, then the showroom, and finally the live auction on our own site. What changes is the way you buy, not the location — once a car has arrived, it stays with us in Katwijk. This one is in the showroom and you are welcome to come and see it, no appointment needed. You buy it here at a fixed price: no bidding, no waiting. Our showroom in Katwijk, 30 km from Amsterdam Schiphol, is open Mon–Fri 9–18 and Sat 10–17. Call ahead and it will be standing ready, with someone free for you.

Within the EU no customs duty arises on this purchase. Registration tax and registration costs in your own country are not included. We supply the export documents and assist with the registration. The price shown is the full price for collection in Katwijk. We arrange insured door-to-door transport worldwide, cost quoted per destination beforehand.
