This 1973 Volkswagen Beetle Buggy Autofibra Manx 2 is a used car showing 46,700 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Rouge verni with a Black / Brown interior. It is a 2-seat car.
According to the seller, this red buggy carries French historic registration as a Volkswagen Beetle with approved modifications and two convertible seats. Its new Manx 2 fibreglass body was made in Portugal by Autofibra. The 1973 date belongs to the registered donor, while the restoration and present body installation are advertised as 2026 work. The seller's Meyers Manx commercial title does not by itself establish a 1970s manufacture date for this body or a surviving original period kit.
The chassis is said to have been stripped, sandblasted and powder-coated. The specification includes a ball-joint front axle, independent suspension, adjustable dampers and a gearbox with jointed drive shafts. New black and brown leather upholstery, ATS wheels, BFGoodrich tyres and a removable pop-up roof complete the configuration. The wiring harness, carburettor, electric fuel pump, electronic ignition and alternator are all described as new. The engine is a 1.5-litre flat-four; the seller does not specify the power output or the performance of this particular conversion.
The car is located in Paris, France.

FAQ
The seller advertises it as a Meyers Manx but describes modified Volkswagen Beetle registration and a new Autofibra Manx 2 body fitted during the 2026 restoration. LUSSO uses that documented identity without attributing an unproven period manufacture date to the body. Kit provenance, authenticity and registration documents should be checked with the seller.
The asking price is EUR49,900. The seller does not specify whether recoverable VAT, a net export price or a margin scheme applies. No tax deduction is invented; the seller's quotation must confirm the applicable treatment.
The original list price for this exact model year and specification is not documented. No dated European new price is documented for this buggy with a new Autofibra body, assembled and restored in 2026 on a donor registered in 1973. A standard Beetle or period Manx kit price would not price this conversion. The seller asks EUR 49,900 without specifying VAT treatment; no percentage is calculated.
The listing gives first registration in January 1973 and an odometer reading of 46,700 km. Restoration with a new body is advertised for 2026, a separate event. Mileage continuity from new and supporting restoration records remain to be checked.

The car is at Paris, France, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer.
