Jay Leno is California Dreamin' at Electric Relaunch of Iconic Meyers Manx Dune Buggy
Jay Leno helps Meyers Manx celebrate the reveal of their new electric vehicle Manx 2.0 Electric at the Little Beach House on Monday, August 8, in Malibu, Calif.
The iconic talk show host was accompanied by his wife Macis as well as Saturday Night Live alum Nasim Pedrad.
“The Meyers Manx has always been a symbol of joy, simplicity and purity. It’s the solution to the complexity of life,” noted venture capitalist Phillip Sarofim, who acquired the brand from Bruce and Winnie Meyers in 2020 through his firm Trousdale Ventures. “Continuing the legacy of the Meyers Manx connects us with the optimism of the 1960s California culture, an optimism we all can share.”
Meyers Manx is partnering with a U.S.-based manufacturing entity to bring the Manx 2.0 Electric into production in 2023, with final assembly taking place in California. The Meyers Manx Beta program will deliver the first 50
cars to select customers in 2024.
Also in attendance was Phillip’s girlfriend Christy Cham and her mother Manuela Herzer.
