This is the first prototype of the 3-cylinder radial engine-powered version of the Meyers Manx.
These cars are now in production and can be ordered in kit form, the engines come from Radial Motion in Australia, and the combustion internals all come from an LS1 V8.

The Meyers Manx was developed by visionary engineer Bruce Meyers back in the early 1960s, he used his experience building fiberglass boats to build a fiberglass tub which was bolted onto a shortened VW Beetle platform. Bruce’s invention took off like wildfire, and created an entirely new beach buggy industry.
A number of new buggy designs followed the original Manx including the Manx SR which offered road-biased sports car performance, the Meyers Tow’dster which was an off-road racing variant designed to be towed, and the Meyers Resorter which was developed for use a beach resort tourist vehicle.
The vast majority of Meyers Manx vehicles were built from kits offered by the company, people could build them quickly and relatively easily in their garage or shed, and original Manx survivors are now highly collectible.
The vehicle you see in this video is a Meyers Manx that was built in Australia, it’s powered by the new 3-cylinder radial engine from Radial Motion. The company are now offering kits specific for this engine, for those who want to build their own.
