SUMMARY
A very well presented, Volkswagen-based Dune Buggy from 1972.
DESCRIPTION
- The original dune buggy – the ‘Meyers Manx’ was built in 1964 by Bruce Meyers using the ubiquitous Volkswagen Beetle chassis
- This, 'Manx-style' buggy dates from 1972 and looks absolutely period-correct in bright orange
- On the HPI document, it's described as a "GT Beetle" which may mean that the buggy is based on one of the rare GT Beetles offered in 1972/1973 only
- It's powered by a 1584cc flat-four and sits on Porsche-style, Fuchs five-blade alloys with good Ventus K102s
- Simple but smart interior with high-back front seats and a bench at the rear
- First registered in the UK on 02/02/1973 and with its current owner for 17 years
- Fresh MOT until September 2022 and ready to go
