Awesome! Loving it.

[Tav]

Which I believe have had a big shunt according to old thread on Club Polo, so buyer beware.  Interesting none the less!  You can assume being an ex-racer it's pretty rough and had plenty of 'action.'

if only I had 2.5k lol

[Andy]

Could probably just about make £2.5k by breaking it - as long as engine/box/LSD are okay and suspension is good. Size and contents of the spares package are probably the dealer maker/breaker!

[Jester]

awesome, why does it say VW Golf g40 cup car though 

[G40motorsport]

One of the sister cars to my one. Absolute bargain for anyone that wants to go racing or do track days.
Way to good to break, it did have some body damage when purchased by Phil Latchford but as he owned a body shop that repairs Rolls Royce cars it was repaired with ease.

Always wondered, how easy is it to make a cup car like this road legal?

They were originally production road cars (possibly with some interior bits etc. missed off) sold with a kit of parts (seat, suspension etc.) to turn them into one make racers. They will have a normal VW chassis number so you should be able to get a dating letter from VW and road register one on an age related plate. Likely to be H or J reg. Just need to make sure its got road stuff like horn still fitted and get an MOT on the chassis number first. Lots will have been reshelled with a road car anyway so you could run into problems if the chassis number is recorded as a write off, not been re-registered, sorned properly etc.

Passenger sill looks like its had a bit of hammer! Cheap though for a good start to a track day car.

if i was racing a mk2 golf this year i'd definately be buying that

[ade]

I sooo nearly bought this, but didn't have the space... I would've raced it tho as that's what it was meant for. Hope that's what happens to it, would be a real shame if it got broke for spares or something

[G40motorsport]

Be nice to see it back on track, have raced against that car many times. Planning to get my one back on track next season, would be nice to race against another Polo again.

[Kustom]

Hope it pops up again soon I tried to buy this too but didnt get a response from the seller

[hayesey]

Does anyone know what happened to this in the end?
