John the guy that posted above you bought his car.
Ian, Neil White and Garry Hope (K95VHD) were all from the same time and regularly competed against each other at the shows.
ah, cool. Might have to go and check his wip to see how tidy it still is.Quote:

shame because it would look so much better with std and factory 'clean unpolished' aluminium parts.
some scroats probably bought it, cut the back floor out and attempted some half baked-never-to-be-finnished RWD project :(
or dropped the engine fitted an XE and hammered the chassis legs to get it to fit.
:(:(
Meritlover - As I've said earlier in the Thread, Ian still own's the car, it's still in his garage, pretty much as it was in those pictures and as said, all the standard stuff is there to go back on. Well apart from the Airflow meter, inlet manifold, throttle body and most of the other shiney bits that are hand polished!
Best get all the VW concours boys to put their concours cars back to standard...
ye i think for the good of a true concours contest your right.Quote:
