1978 MK1 Polo road legal track car

Featured Replies

Alot of you may know the car originally built by John Marchant and now has undergone some work by myself in order to take it racing.

Well due to the impending birth of my second child i simply will not be able to race this car anymore.

After months of hard graft by the boy's and lot's of cash I've now gotta let it go unfortunately. The car has been seam welded in places and now has a fully approved MSA cage on spreader plates ( so can be removed if needed).

Both the cage and the floor are now fully colour coded.

All the carpets and sound deadening has been removed with only the headlining remaining.

Custom doorcards covered in alcantara along with rear panels replace the orginals.

The spare whell has been removed and the floor covered with Carbon.

A mk3 Polo dash has now been fitted which has been fully flocked.

It has just had its turbo replaced with a BRAND NEW KO4.

The car can come with a set of Michelin slicks if wanted

It can also come with or without the one off Carbon diffuser and brand new CAE tower shifter if not required.

Car has both front and rear bumpers just not fitted at the moment.

I will get some new pic's up of all the work that has been carried out recently as soon as I get down to Gwerk's.

Price wise £6.5k takes it as it is with EVERYTHING on it but can be reduced as stated.

PX possible. I will not accept silly offers on the car as I've had far too many already if it does not go it will simply be stored as this type of car will not depreciate now.

Car is located at Gwerks
