Vehicle Overview:
The 1969 Meyers Manx SR2 is an exceptional, rare gem from the golden age of kit cars—an evolution of Bruce Meyers’ iconic dune buggy, reimagined as a street-legal roadster. With fewer than 1,000 SR2s ever produced, and only around 400 thought to have been completed, this car is a rare piece of automotive history. Its futuristic design, highlighted by its wedge-shaped body and pop-up headlights, makes it a true standout, ideal for car enthusiasts and collectors alike.
