About the Meyers Manx Orange Convertible Solido 1:18
TL;DR: Solido's 1:18 diecast Meyers Manx in orange with the top down reproduces the original VW-based dune buggy in its fully open form. This diecast captures the fiberglass body's exposed cabin and minimal windshield, exactly how most Manx owners actually ran the car.
A Manx with the top down is the buggy at its most honest, and orange is exactly the sun-faded, beach-culture color the car seems built to wear.
Fully Open Diecast Presentation
This Solido build strips the soft top entirely, showing off the Manx's exposed cabin, minimal dashboard, and short, uninterrupted wheel arches in full detail rather than hiding them under fabric. The orange finish sits bright and glossy, capturing the fun, low-stakes color palette these buggies typically wore in period photographs. Diecast weight gives the small buggy genuine heft, and the simplicity of the open-top build lets every proportion of the shortened Beetle chassis underneath show through clearly.
The Buggy Built to Run With the Top Off
Bruce Meyers designed the Manx around a shortened Volkswagen Beetle platform wrapped in lightweight fiberglass, creating a vehicle most owners actually drove without any top at all, embracing open-air simplicity as the whole point of the design. That fully exposed driving experience is core to the Manx's identity and its lasting influence on the American dune buggy and kit-car scene. On a special and unique models shelf, this open orange example captures that spirit more directly than a soft-top version ever could.
