Meyers Manx, the iconic American dune buggy brand, marked its 60th anniversary with a grand celebration at the Goodwood Revival on September 6th. This milestone event not only brought nostalgia to life but also introduced the brand’s future with the European debut of the Meyers Manx 2.0 Electric Prototype.
The celebration kicked off with an impressive parade featuring over 80 Meyers Manx dune buggies, driven by enthusiasts from across the globe. Despite light rain, the historic Goodwood track came alive with the unmistakable sound of the buggies’ exhausts and the enthusiastic cheers of their drivers. The parade was a testament to the enduring appeal of these adventurous vehicles, known for their open-air joy and timeless design.
Leading the procession was Phillip Sarofim, Chairman of Meyers Manx, who chauffeured the Duke of Richmond and Gordon in a beautifully reimagined Meyers Manx Resorter. Built on a 1966 Volkswagen Beetle chassis, the Resorter featured charming wicker seats and a perfect blend of retro flair with modern updates, paying homage to the brand’s adventurous past while embracing a promising future.
The excitement continued at the Earls Court Motor Show, where Meyers Manx unveiled its highly anticipated 2.0 Electric Prototype. This electric version of the classic dune buggy represents a bold new chapter in the brand’s history, combining heritage with sustainability. The 2.0 Electric Prototype promises to deliver the same exhilarating driving experience while embracing an eco-friendly future, captivating the attention of both automotive insiders and the public alike.
“Goodwood Revival is the perfect stage to honour 60 years of Meyers Manx while showcasing the future with our electric prototype,” said Phillip Sarofim. “It’s a tribute to the legacy Bruce Meyers started and a look forward to how we’re keeping the Manx spirit alive in the electric age.”
As Meyers Manx celebrates six decades of freedom, innovation, and joy, the brand’s latest creations, including the electric prototype, ensure that its legacy will continue to inspire future generations of adventurers.
