High Spec G40 breaking

Featured Replies

Sadly the time has come for to me part with my Polo due to lack of time/effort to trailer it to and from track days plus I have a Lotus Elise itch I want to scratch and I cant justify having 2 impractical cars.

The car is in a running state so before I start breaking it I would like to have a buyer for the engine before taking parts off as I would like to ensure that the buyer can see and hear the engine running if required.

If you are interested in a part or parts then please contact me via email robinyau at yahoo dot co dot uk or pm me I will put your name down for the item and once I start breaking the car I will be in touch.

Prices are all excluding postage please contact me for prices.

All parts located in Crewe, Cheshire.

I am also willing to listen to offers for parts and would do a deal on multiple items.

Pictures of individual items on request.

If there is something you are looking for which is not listed please ask as I have loads of spares I have gathered over the years.

People who have seen the shell can tell you its not going to win any awards, its pretty battered to say the least its got a safety devices roll cage welded in and has been cut slightly lower so it fits in the car (the car has a sunroof and the cage is made for non sunroof) therefore its not for tall people..would suit midgets like myself I am 58 and I fit it in comfortably.

The shell also has bucket seat mounts welded into the floor, the front chassis legs has had additional reinforcements carried out by the previous owner.

It also has plastic windows fitted which I can sell separately if someone is interested in them.

Price wise I am not sure if its worth much so lets say £100 and if someone can give it a good home I am sure we can come to some agreement over the price.
