The American engineer, boat builder, and surfer Bruce Meyers is regarded as the inventor of the fun mobile. Raised on the southern Californian coast, he wanted to build a car that would be more agile, lighter and faster to drive on beaches than the heavy eight-cylinder off-road vehicles that had drifted through the sand until then. To do this, he shortened the platform of a Beetle, mounted a self-made plastic body on it and called it Meyers Manx.
