Saves you ripping it all again down the line.
Good luck.

Hi, it's nice to see this car emerge again. 8)vagwh0r3 said

I can help with a bit of history on it. Obviously first off it was built as a promo car for Trimsport. It would be seen at shows alongside their stand, and also at trackdays.
At some point I would say 2006-7, it was sold on. Trimsport I think had ceased to exist.
Whilst Trimsport had it at Castle Combe one year, it got caught in the side and door. I can't remember the year, but maybe 2002, 2003, 2004. I think there was a coming together with another car, but I wasn't there. Nothing too bad, maybe caught one of the arches also.
Edit: I think Trimsport also took it to the 'Ring.
It was bought by Jon Saxon, who is a journalist who used to write for VW Motoring mag, and then moved onto to CAR Magazine and then working in Dubai as Editor for Evo magazine. He has his own project Mk1 racer, a Mk1 Driver in dark blue, which was being built and documented in VW Motoring. With the demise of VW Motoring, his car then got featured in subsequent mags.
Along the way, Jon collected parts, so bought this Trimsport car when it came up. He bought it for the engine, which went into his Mk1, power listed at 189bhp (just looking at the email now, dated April 2007). So this Trimsport car may stand a chance of a mention in CAR and Evo mag also. Jon bought various parts off my ex-VW Cup racer aswell, all for the blue car.
He definitely still had the Trimsport car in July 2007 and I remember it taking while to sell.
I have Jon's contact details, so he can probably fill in the Welsh ownership. I know it took a while to sell, but the market was flat for proper Mk1 builds, whereas now track builds have truly taken off. PM me for his contact details
