1976 – Volkswagen Buggy LM1, Chassis No. 1862063030 French vehicle

“The ideal companion for a trip to the beach?” In 1964, engineer, artist, surfer and boat builder Bruce Meyers modified a Volkswagen Beetle to meet his everyday needs… And so the Meyers Manx was born, an absolute legend of 1960s California! Over the years, several tuners have taken up Bruce Meyers’ idea, which is as brilliant as it is simple. This was notably the case with Sovra, in the Loiret, which appears to be the creator of our particular example. Our example was first registered in March 1976, as shown on its French registration certificate. A crucial – and oh-so-complicated – detail for this type of car, the certificate clearly states that it is an open-top (CABR), 4-seater Volkswagen. In recent years, the current owner has carried out a major restoration on his car. The work included: a completely rebuilt and repainted chassis; fibreglass bodywork repaired and repainted; and the replacement of the wiring loom, ball joints, fuel tank and lighting system… Its 1,600 cm³ 4-cylinder engine has also been completely rebuilt and still needs running in! This is the ideal toy for an enthusiast looking for a beach car that’s sportier than a Méhari!
