New Club Prospect, Gary Priest & his 1303 German Look project






Here's Gary's car. His project is based on a 1974 'Big' Special Edition 1303 Bug, which required much bodywork before the mods could start. It features such niceties as Porsche 944 disc brakes all round, A rare Hewland Mk.9 straight cut dog box with F2 shafts and Quaife ATB diff, full coilover suspension, uniballed at the rear, a Rathbone Racing rollcage and 8 & 10" wide Porsche 3 piece split rims. the car will be receiving a 2054cc Type 1 engine, and is destined to be raced around corners rather than our more usual straight lines! Gary will, however, be taking to the strip as well before long.
