From 2003 to 2005 I raced a Fun Cup Beetle in long distance races with occasional races in the G27 in 8 Clubs and Bentley Drivers Club outings. At just over 200bhp/Ton it fitted into Class C of the 750MC Roadsports regulations with just 7Kg of ballast. It is a robust and reasonably inexpensive car to run while being fairly competitive due to power to weight Classes irrespective of age. Best finish was a Class win and 5th overall at Rockingham.

The introduction of a Class D resulted in Class C changing to 180 bhp/Ton and the need for 85Kg of ballast to meet power to weight. The seat belts and removable steering wheel were fitted to enable 70+ year old drivers to change midway through the 45 minute races within 1 minute!

CSCC run series for which the car is suitable but it would be uncompetitive without modifications as there are no restrictions to increasing power. At 141bhp the engine is a mechanically standard 130 PS 1800cc Zetec, and gives same power to when tested in 1999. 5 speed s/cut close ratio gearbox rebuilt, new brake pads and ready to go.

Maintained in recent years by GTS Motorsport in Earlswood, the car has been extremely reliable and provides predictable behaviour and a great deal of fun! An ideal car to learn circuits and race craft without breaking the bank. Minor upgrades to meet new regulations may be necessary.

The car is Road Registered N440 OVL but has been SORN since 1999. It has always been kept in a dry garage, has a fitted cover, and some spares.

Currently sitting at home in Solihull, West Midlands, please give me a call to arrange to come and see it.

Having sold an incomplete G27 for £7,000 a few years ago, this 'on the button' ready to race car should be worth £10,000.

Please come and make me an offer.
