Meyers Manx kicked off its 60th anniversary bringing nostalgia and innovation together for a global audience with a spectacular parade featuring over 80 Meyers Manx dune buggies at the Goodwood Revival on the 6th of September.
The parade marked a milestone moment in the history of the brand. Over 80 buggies, driven by enthusiasts from around the world, navigated Goodwood’s historic track despite light rain, their unmistakable exhaust notes and cheerful drivers recalling the timeless appeal of these beloved machines.
At the forefront of this celebratory procession was Phillip Sarofim, Chairman of Meyers Manx, driving the Duke of Richmond and Gordon in a newly remastered Meyers Manx Resorter. This reimagined version, built on a 1966 Volkswagen Beetle chassis, features charming wicker seats, and blends retro spirit with a modern touch, paying tribute to the adventurous roots of the brand while nodding toward a bright future.
The festivities continued at the Earls Court Motor Show, where Meyers Manx made waves with the European unveiling of the Meyers Manx 2.0 Electric Prototype. This highly anticipated debut introduced a bold new chapter in the brand’s storied history. The 2.0 Electric Prototype is an electric reimagination of the classic dune buggy, promising to deliver the same thrilling driving experience while embracing a sustainable future. With its seamless blend of heritage and forward-thinking design, the vehicle captivated both industry insiders and the public, proving once again that Meyers Manx remains at the cutting edge of automotive culture.
“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.”
Meyers Manx’s participation in the Goodwood Revival serves as both a homage to its storied past and an unveiling of its future. As the brand celebrates six decades of innovation, freedom, and the unmatchable joy of open-air driving, its latest creations—like the Meyers Manx 2.0—ensure that this legendary name will continue to inspire generations of adventurers.

This VW Type 3 Squareback auction result left us wondering whether somebody had just bagged themselves a rather interesting old Volkswagen. The 1972 Squareback went under the hammer at Anglia Car Auctions with a £4,000-£6,000 estimate. The bidding ticked along, but eventually everybody stopped. And they stopped before reaching the bottom of the guide. So […]
This Ford Escort 1600 Sport auction result gave us one of the most entertaining bidding battles we’ve filmed for a while. Before the 1979 Mk2 Escort went under the hammer at Anglia Car Auctions, we took a closer look at the car and asked UK Barn Finds followers to predict what it would sell for. […]
This Ford Capri auction result is an interesting indication of just how much enthusiasm remains for early Mk1 Capris. The 1970 Ford Capri 1600 GT XLR certainly wasn’t presented as a pristine example when it went under the hammer at Anglia Car Auctions. It was scruffy, needed restoration or recommissioning, came with no history and […]
