Bruce Meyers saw that the VW Beetle, with the body removed, did quite well on the dunes. He invented the fiberglass body to sit on a Beetle frame and called it the Meyers Manx. Popularity soared. Almost 300 fiberglass body companies started imitating his design. Now it seems like everyone has a Manx style, Manx type or Myer Manix (as some call it). The truth is, they have no idea who made it, so when people ask them if it's a Manx, they just say it is. They say that only because it's a fiberglass body on a VW frame. There are very few real Meyers Manx's out there, a lot of people have built fake Manx's, bought Manx emblems and now try to pass it off as a real Meyers Manx.There is only one Meyers Manx and I am proud to own one. So, when people ask if it's a Manx, say NO, then tell them, it's a Meyers Manx, a real one! On Jul-10-15 at 08:46:00 PDT, seller added the following information: Hi Jay, The top cruising speed is 65mph. It's smooth and controllable at that speed. The steering wheel does not shake and it negotiates corners very well. This is a problem with a lot of dune buggies, that is why it's very important to have the front and rear tires aligned and the tires well balanced. Most dune buggies can't go over 50mph without violently shaking. I've taken this one up to almost 75mph, but, it's pushing it. This one, I built like it should be, it puts the others to shame. Thanks, Milo
