Mythical vehicle
Fun and playful
Pleasure guaranteed
In 1963, Bruce Meyer, a California-based boat and surfboard designer, specialized in polyester manufacturing, launched the idea of a small beach car with a polyester laminate body using a very common basis: the Volkswagen Beetle. This little car has no equivalent: without doors, with a very round nose and a shortened chassis, it receives the modified chassis of the Beetle. In 1964, the first Meyer Manx began hitting the sand, amazing everyone by its innovative and appealing looks. Meyer sensed that his creation was on its way to becoming legendary. He began selling Buggies in kit form in 1966, and the car, a symbol of a whole generation in love with freedom, in the spirit of the sixties, met an unprecedented success. The concept was taken up by many manufacturers around the world, including SOVRA, a company based in the Loiret region of France, which launched the LM Buggy, named after its creator Michel Landois. With the 4-cylinder flat engine of the Beetle and a very limited weight, the performances are breathtaking.
Based on a 1972 Beetle chassis, our charming car has received an LM body made of fiberglass allowing it to incorporate four seats. Mechanically, it is equipped with a 1, 285 cc AB engine developing 44 hp, coupled to a four-speed manual gearbox. The yellow fiber body is found in good condition, it was actually repainted in 2017. The interior is also very well preserved, and its bucket seats provide good support. This Buggy also has nice chrome hubcap rims as well as a rough tarp to protect the driver from the weather or the sun. In very good working order, this incredible vehicle will surely give you lots pleasure and sensations. Easy to maintain and to use, it is the archetype of the leisure car, a different way of driving where pleasure is not only a question of pure speed.
Est. 10 000 – 15 000 €
