Description:
The car was originally built and raced in Belgium and Holland in their VW Cup Championship where it achieved numerous race wins and fastest laps. It then came over to the UK where the previous owner ran it very successfully in VAG Trophy, Pre 93 Touring Cars, Project 8 Saloons and CSCC Tin Tops taking over 30 Class Wins. I have had the car since 2015 and competed in the Classic VW Cup where we have had multiple Class Wins and an outright Race Win.
The car is eligible for a number of race series and championships, Classic VW Cup, CSCC, 750MC CTCRC Pre93. This is a professionally built car, not just a road car conversion. Since I have owned the car it has undergone a no expense spared rebuild and has been fully maintained regardless of cost. If you built it from scratch then it would set you back around £20k
