Bruce Meyers, 1960's innovator of his Myeres Manx passes on at age 94. Both he and his wife Winnie were great ambassadors of this VW air cooled niche, that he created in his Newport Beach California home workshop. His innovation received a U.S. patent, made over 7,000 kits...but it's said that approx 350,000 (non Meyers) knock-offs were made. We built a 2180 with twin IHI turbos for a Manx client in Oahu .
God speed Bruce  |

Manx, Manx Clubs, and Manx meet ups have been on the rise in the last decade. We re-introduced this MSDS "Baja Eliminator " Manx exhaust muffler system into production, as interest has been coming back strong.
Unit on the right was installed at our Culver City shop in 1978 , we just replaced it; it came off of a "Special" (locally driven L.A.) knock off aka "Coyote".  |
