MK1 GTI Engineering Zender
Here's my dilema, I have had my A reg Heios Campaign for some years now and though modified with 16v Ronel Turbos etc and desent body resturation , It still looked like a well kept Campaign and turned heads.
Anyway to the sad bit…. On my way back from Stamford Hall show, It crashed and has now been classed as a Cat B write-off so can't be put back on road so I have seen a GTI Engineering Helios Campaign with full Zender.
Do I get one and restore it to its original condition as I am of the understanding these cars are extremely rare. Or do I use my salvagable bits, purchase the Zender car & turn it back to a Standard looking Campaign?
Your comments would be appreciated especially if you have a GTI Engineering car. :?

The other is still in my Home Town of Port Talbot in South Wales…..looking to find out the new owner as I love to buy it if it ever came up for sale
Guess my reply does not help you with your inquiry though !!

By the way if you find one……cherish it and keep it for ever…..know I would….don't modify it…..refresh it if need be….

I love that Zender kitted Gti. That is TRUE retro - none of this roofrack-retro nonsense ! More interesting than a std. Helios Gti IMO (and I've got a Helios Campaign….!)
Helios Blue is where metallic began…..just gotta love it :wink:

The blue one that was on pistonheads is owned by a guy i know,it would make someone an excellent period looking car if its what your into! How much was it up for on pistonheads by the way? I never saw it on there for sale!
If your mate ever wants to sell it, I would buy the car and pay to have it professionally restored…..
Ask him to drop me an email :-)
