Con-Ferr and the Birth of a Legend

The Meyers Manx, created by visionary Bruce Meyers, quickly became an icon of 1960s automotive culture. This lightweight dune buggy, built on a VW Beetle chassis, revolutionised off-roading with its unique fibreglass body and agile performance. It not only dominated events like the Baja 1000 but also became synonymous with the carefree, adventurous spirit of the era.

Con-Ferr Manufacturing, a key player in the dune buggy movement, provided essential aftermarket parts that allowed enthusiasts to customise and enhance their buggies. Their components helped transform the Meyers Manx into a true off-road powerhouse, solidifying Con-Ferr’s reputation among off-road enthusiasts and further embedding the Manx into the fabric of automotive history.

Model Features

This 1:43 scale model from Norev’s Jet Car series captures the essence of the Con-Ferr Meyers Manx Dune Buggy with an accurate body profile that reflects the original vehicle’s distinctive design. The Left-Hand Drive (LHD) variant is finished with a sealed bodyshell, ensuring the sleek lines and rugged stance remain intact.

Norev has paid close attention to detail, incorporating realistic badges and markings that add to the authenticity of the model. Though the body is sealed, the interior is detailed to reflect the minimalist yet functional design of the classic dune buggy. The model also features free-rolling wheels, allowing it to move smoothly, much like the original Manx gliding over sand dunes.

Perfect for Display

The model is presented in a cardboard window box, making it an ideal display piece while also protecting it from wear. Crafted from diecast metal with plastic parts, this model is built to last, ensuring it remains a standout piece in your collection.
