Lupo 1.4 16v Sprint/Track car *caged+semi slicks*

Welcome to the auction of my 1999 Lupo 1.4 16v AHW engine sprint car.

 

This was a car in the family from 2006 and was taken off the road in 2009 due to a diff bearing fault, as part of this I went a little bit over the top as it was replaced by other vehicle and the result is what you can see in the spec and pictures, with the aim being to print the car but keep it comfortable enough for a nurburgring trip.

 

This was built with a high degree of attention to detail, with many thousands spent, and hopefully from the pictures your gather apart from the shell most of the components are all brand new. Every standard nut or bolt has been replaced either by the correct item from VW where they are load bearing, or if not a stainless Allen fixing, and all bolt on brackets, sub frames, lower arms etc etc have been zinc primed and powder coated.

 

The car went into storage a few years back whilst I finished my house, and I’d like to move this on to let someone enjoy it.

 

and In short a weekends work and you will have a read to go sprint car in the sub 1400cc category or a prime candidate for a 1.8t conversion or similar. As you can imagine from being in storage the car has no MOT, but given all the new components I genuinely can’t see why it wouldn’t fly through should you wish.

 

With the car will also come a Polo AFH inlet manifold and throttle body, which are incredibly rare and will up the power when combined with a suitable remap, as well as a spare subframe and the original hubs etc etc

I should add 79k, absolutely no rust, as you may have guessed i'm super picky

only pics I have on my phone from the build, I will add more, but safe to say it does have a brand new 315mm OMP wheel and a front bumper

Nice car, should have no issue shifting it for that price.

I am curious, GTI subframe? Has this been converted to use the GTI gearbox, as if it's one of the 085 ones the mount points are different aren't they?

Anyway. Would you sell the 1.2's seperately? :)

I’m 99% sure it’s from a 5 speed GTI, coupled with sport lower arms and ball joints therefore not extended the track  no problems mounting up

 

and yes, for 825, and you get loads of spares too ;)

Unfortunately not, thanks for the interest but it needs to go so I can get rid of my workshop 

and your more than welcome to transport it yourself, but the sale price doesn’t cover any delivery 

 

cheers

a five speed subframe is the same as a six.

if you say polo gti subframe then you may get away with it 

very cheap for what it is but a cage in a lupo, claustrophobic.

Maybe my mind is getting the better of me as some years since I built it

 

hower with the cage no worse than any another caged car, same width as a 6n2 polo as the omp cage doesn’t intrude massively in the cabin
