Four years ago we published an article about a similar car, but unlike the first this one looks much more complete and “refined”. However, it is very rare to see for sale these kit cars produced in the 70s and, obviously, based on a Volkswagen Typ1 chassis (more commonly known as Beetle) which ensured maximum… Read More Old future: 1961 Sportsland Concept 1
These cars, universally known as “Buggies” had their golden age in the sixties and seventies and then fell into oblivion for about thirty years. The idea of building an open body in synthetic material to be connected to the Volkswagen Beetle chassis was by Bruce Meyers, an idea that has been successful as some sources… Read More Real deal: 1961 Meyers Manx
A universal law that no one will ever be able to contest is: you never stop learning; we continuously verify it in our niche. In this case it is the discovery of a car which they did not know existed; ok you say, it is one of the many “Dune Buggy” inspired by the Meyer… Read More Italian psychedelia: 1974 Drag II by Greppi

Even though we perfectly know that many people don’t care about classic cars like this one, our goal has always been to bring to the light some obscure build which you rarely see around. Fiberglass cars have been an important chapter during the decades which span from the mid fifties to the mid eighties, and… Read More Gullwing: 1965 Sportsland Concept One
This fiberglass car (with scissors doors) is yet quite strange in itself, but it’s even more when you discover that it’s pushed by a Porsche 356 SC engine instead of the usual VW unit. It was built by Meyers, probably the most famous producer of fiberglass bodies to dress the VW Beetle chassis, and the… Read More That Porsche feeling: 1965 Meyers Manx SR
