"AmD Tuning are selling the car to move onto the new full NGTC regulations in 2013"

That suggests they're staying in with a full NGTC car??

....I missed that bit.  :ashamed:

What races would/could you compete in if you bought that car (and its spares)?

Too expensive just as a privately owned trackday car surely.

Description:
VW Golf built and raced in the British Touring Car Championship 2010-2012 with numerous Top 10 positions. Car available after the final round of 2012 BTCC at Brands Hatch in October 2012.

The car comes complete with a full spares package including spare engine, body panels inc bumpers, wings, tailgate, bonnet, doors, panel moulds, suspension, brakes, wheels/tyres, exhaust systems, radiators, intercoolers, gear ratios plus everything you would need to run the car- too much to list!

Spares package alone is worth £75k!

AmD Tuning are selling the car to move onto the new full NGTC regulations in 2013.

The BTCC will provisionally run a S2000 Cup in 2013 which will run concurrently with the full NGTC cars.

The car would also be eligible for numerous other championships internationally and nationally.

AmD Tuning could run the car in the BTCC for buyer if required.

£75k+vat which is for the complete car, spare engine and spares package complete.

I think the Golf is an NGTC engined S2000 car so would qualify for this.

How many members there are on this forum? Divide 75k by this number and see how much it would cost everyone. The Mk5golfgti.co.uk race car  :smiley:

Wonder who should be the drivers?

Lol with all those two wheeled antics I sooooo wanted them to write "one careful owner" somewhere in the ad. £90k means I'm out. Would much rather a used Lamborghini Gallardo
