Dune Buggy History in Australia - Help Needed
I have been approad by James Hale ( Author of Dune Buggy Handbook, A-Z of VW based Buggies since 1964 ) Anyway he is writting a new book on a more
global scale and has asked me to write the Australian content for him.
Since I ain't that old .... I need help from anyone out there with pictures and information on Dune Buggies in Australia. I am very keen to get
any info on them in the late 60's and 70's in particular.
I have tracked down a few of the old characters and look forward to talking to more soon. |

november 1964 issue magazine
An old bloke who lives close to me had a clean out and tossed out a heap of old car magazines........except one.......he gave it to me because there
was a feature on dunebuggies.
"ROAD & TRACK" november 1964.
The article covers a number of different buggies, one of which being...............you guessed it........the "MEYERS MANX" with a kit price
of US$995. wouldn't you love to pay that now. Send me a postal address by e-mail and I will send you photocopies of the front cover of the mag
and the relevant pages. keep on bugging!.....Stuart.
