Its story is one of triumph: in 2022, the original Meyers Manx, from which this replica draws its soul, lined up for the Baja 1000. Over five grueling days and 1, 310 miles of brutal desert between Tijuana, California, and La Paz, Mexico, it didn't just participate—it prevailed. Goldi2 proved itself against trophy trucks and dedicated race cars, completing every punishing stage of the race.
The chassis tells the real story of its capability. Gone are any hints of mere street cruising. The suspension is a serious off-road system, featuring Bilstein shock absorbers to soak up the terrain. Orange steel smoothie wheels wrapped in aggressive Yokohama Geolander tyres - a massive footprint for climbing dunes and gripping rocks. The PRP suspension seats and 5-point race harnesses are essential survival gear. The 6-point roll cage with full engine protection and the front nudge bar with racing spot lights are not for show; they are the exoskeleton of a vehicle built for adventure.
At its heart beats a purpose-built 1776cc twin-port engine, a significant step up from the stock VW, providing the extra torque and power needed to climb dunes and power through silt beds. It's fed by reliable Kadron Solex carburettors, chosen for their durability and steady performance in the harsh, variable conditions of the Mexican desert.
Goldi2 is more than a replica; it is a rolling monument to a monumental achievement. It honors the simple, brilliant design of Bruce Meyers by proving its ultimate potential. This Marigold Metallic marvel is a testament to the idea that with the right preparation and spirit, even the humble beach buggy can become a king of the desert.
