Stevw1 Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 HELLO,Β I am the New Owner of one of the "Press Cars" this one being T62 DBW. I have been a VW owner for the last 32 years approximately, so be assured its in safe handsΒ π It has been adulterated a little, so the plan is to get it back, or as close to OEM as i can. Currently it is running Yamaha R1 Bike Carbs, sits low on aftermarket alloys. So, a little work needs to be done to get it there. Any info anyone has on this car and where it has been over the last 20 years would be great. I have managed to track down a couple of previous owners and am in the process of putting a portfolio together, with Magazine copies as back up. Also hoping to make a few shows next year, so come say HELLO. LET THE GAMES BEGIN...................................... Β 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevw1 Posted May 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Sadly I have listed this for sale in the βFOR SALEβ section. Too many projects on the go and itβs getting neglected.Β Doesnβt need much to finish this terrific solid car. Will be a great car to someone with a great history behind it. Feel free to message or enquire, happy to help with anything π Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 I'm convinced that LuposΒ are going the way of Mk2 golfs... Ever more desirable as they become rarer and rarer. Even in breakers'Β yards LuposΒ are a rare sight now. Be nice to see one of the first Lupos in the UK go to a good home again. My fav colour too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I agree and sad I canβt complete it. My A3 Show Car is taking all of my time at the minute and my daily A4 B5 TQS. The Lupo is such a great little car, but something has to go π₯ Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
