FROM RK: Hello,
I saw your website and see that there is a real following for this vehicle.I
was a design consultant for Manx Motors in Maryland for about a year in the
early 90's. I redesigned many features of the SR that is pictured here.
The front end was lowered, notice the
targa top, roll bar. It had a special frame made and a custom VW engine that was
at 150 hp with custom chromed 4 pipe exhaust. I would have to find my notes and
design books to see what else was done.
I remember that this car was built
custom for a buyer in Germany and sold for $20,000.Regards,RK

This
is an artists rendition of an what an updated SR might look like. It is called the

illustration, and it was never produced. This picture was sent to me by SR
Enthusiast, Rick Bender.

Bob Werka's BF Meyers SR. Hello, I just wanted to say that another Meyers
Manx exists. This one was originally my fathers, but he has given it to me. I
have plans on restoring it as soon as I am able to (I also have a 71 Karmann Ghia that I
spent 3 years restoring and use it as my daily driver). My father added the front
side windows when he built the car. There have been other modifications made as
well. We have two cutouts on the upper rear fenders to provide additional cooling to
the motor. The cutouts actually provide cooling to 2 external oil coolers. We
have a 2110cc motor with a turbo installed. Also, we used 2 Fiero rear vents and had
them grafted into the rear decklid. They came out pretty well. The 2110 motor
was originally installed in another Ghia I had but produced so much heat that the rear
decklid faded (or cooked), so we installed the Fiero grills. For the interior, I got
bored during Thanksgiving holidays while I was in college. I gutted the interior and
made a carpet kit. While the interior was out, I found some seats from an Eagle
Talon, and had the local VW shop install them (Johnson Foreign Auto in Huntsville, AL).
This is part why I now have the car instead of my dad. The seats fit me great, but
are a little cramped for him. While we were installing the seats we had to redo the
rolll bar that was installed. The roll bar just goes behind the seats and is not a
full cage roll bar.

Red says this is one of the first SR's shipped out by Meyers. It is still on
the road and now owned by Robert Vining. Robert was one of the partners in the Dune

looking Tow'd.

Not sure who owns this car, but
this is an SR manufactured by Heartland Glassworks. It is the only car that
we can
positively identify at this time from Heartland.
Another SR enthusiast wrote in and
said this SR is currently owned by Mike Guffey of Hartford City, IN. Its an
interesting car with history. It was a magazine feature car for Motion Minicars of Motion
Perf. back in the 70s.
This Hot
Wheels car was called the "Jack Rabbit Special" and reminds some of the SR...
What do you think? The underside of the car reads 1969 and can still be
found on ebay today.
