They are coming back:
The Meyers Manx is coming back in 2024 as a hot electric dune buggy | Electrek

 

E30 BMW 3-series cars had 4 lug wheels...except for the M3 which used the hubs from the larger 5&6-series automobiles.

 

Saw that awhile back. Looks good for being electric but I rather listen to sound of the vw engine.

 

...^^^... I had a 914-4 and later a 914-6 .... wish I still had the 914-6. The 914-6 was actually my buddies car, but he never drove it, so I sold mine and bought his.

They have really appreciated in value, especially the 914-6.

It was always cool to see how the hardtop clipped in the rear trunk. That still give you 2 trunks, even with the top stored in the rear trunk.

 

I had one of those for about twenty seconds. Parked it in my driveway and could never get inspired enough to work on it. Just not a VW guy although I like looking at them. Sold it a few months later and was glad to part ways...

 

The trick now is marrying the tube frame to a Subaru engine mounted boxter fashion. I’ve seen one and it was nuts. Also saw one as a lead-acid electric racer that was stupid quick; I can only imagine how it would be with Tesla guts.

 

Ohhhh... that could be such a sweet ride. And an engine fire should be an easy fix if it didn't toast the dash and ruin it.

 

VW’s 1 liter car. Lol 4 bolt
