Built into a low mileage shell, this is a real 'no expense spared' conversion. Vehicle currently shows 93k miles although that translates to less than 10k miles since the build was completed. The shell is immaculate and was painted into a fresh coating of BMW Alpine White II.

Shell
This is a genuine car and chassis number 26 of 60 built for the single make Championship. Multi point weld in roll cage with front triangulation to strut tops and bracing to rear beam locations. Side windows and rear screen replaced with Perspex.
The car has been mostly used to promote the previous owners’ business at shows for the past 7 years and therefore has an excellent paint job and not the usual battle scared vehicle.
Engine & Gearbox
I purchased the car late last year with a knackered engine and have fitted my 2017 championship winning 2.8L VR6 engine from my Golf. The engine is a very low hours unit having been supplied brand new by VW and used for only 3 seasons racing. Rolling road print out from Stealth Racing UK producing 240bhp.
Gearbox is an original 6 speed close ratio Beetle Cup box with LSD. Again, the same set up taken from my Golf after a very successful year in 2017.
Handling
Suspension is original Beetle Cup Bilstein dampers on all 4 corners which I had completely overhauled by Bilstein during the 2017 season.
Brakes are the original Alcon VW Motorsport callipers with floating discs on the front and new standard equipment on the rear.
These cars were built to a high specification with bespoke hubs to allow additional camber, rose joints to replace outer ball joints etc.
Interior
Floor mounted pedal box with brake bias adjustment on the dash.
B&M Quick shift with extended gear tower.
Spares Package
I have a total of 10 OZ Racing 18"x 9" rims, 11 slicks & 8 wet tyres.
