Meyers Manx Goldi

Reliving the past with a tribute to Bruce Meyers-- - In 1967, Bruce Meyers and his co-driver Bill (Wheelo) Anderson lined up at the start of the first Mexican 1000. They chose a very special Meyers Manx with gold metal flakes, which they affectionately called ‘Goldie’.

This was Bruce Meyers' personal Meyers Manx. Goldie was featured on the cover of the very first issue of Dune Buggies and Hot VW's, Car and Driver April 1967, and Road Test November 1968. For the first Mexican 1000, Goldie was equipped with an oversized 1830cc VW engine to tackle the rugged terrain of Baja.

Due to a simple mistake in preparation, namely not installing a transmission belt, Bruce and Bill were only able to complete just over 200 miles of the race. At that point, they were in the lead before the transmission nose cone failed. This cleared the way for Vic Wilson and Ted Mangles in the #10 Manx to take the lead and ultimately finish the race in first place.

As Meyers Manx continued to grow and develop other versions of dune buggies and kit cars, Goldie was sidelined and its powertrain was sacrificed to build the prototype of the new Meyers SR. The bodywork was then chopped up and destroyed. Studio Classic 77 has created a tribute to this hero of the 60
