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.
This particular example features a Karma-manufactured fiberglass shell mounted on a shortened 1969 VW Beetle chassis, and it's powered by a 1500cc 1967 VW air-cooled flat-four engine. It’s in pristine condition, having undergone over $5,000 in recent upgrades and services to ensure top-notch performance and reliability.
