here's an old report from may 94 with robert bontuyan 2175cc turbocharged kg
that car was very cool at that time for me it look more an restocal than an cal look the only thing it can be cal look was the turbo engine
at that time there I had hardly just known the existence of the DKP without knowing really that was this club and its rules which was in progress in the time
The Club Constitution
The aim of the club is to maintain the standards laid down by club members since the earliest days of Der Kleiner Panzers. Outright performance is important, but of equal importance are the presentation of a member's car and the attitude of the member.:
What follows is a list of the guidelines which are used in evaluating a prospective members car.
DKP is open to clean fast Street VWs in the spirit of the original California Look
DKP is open to
normally-aspirated VW Bugs, Karmann Ghias and Type 3s, including later models.
Membership is open to enthusiasts from Southern California
The "Look" of the cars should abide by the following rules:
Quality: A high level of detailing inside, outside and under the decklid
Color: Tasteful, subtle and flawless one-color paintjob
Stance: In the typical California Look fashion, the front suspension should be lowered and the rear should remain at a stock height
Wheels: Selection limited to original models from the sixties and seventies (BRM, painted and polished EMPI five-spokes etc), early original painted and polished Porsche factory wheels (Fuchs, Gasburners etc), Center Lines and the high quality BRM-Flat 4s.
No "fully polished" alloysTires: Tires must fit under the stock fenders. No low-profile tires. Slicks are welcome but not mandatory.
Modifications: With the exception of of top-chops, dechroming, one-piece windows and dash alternatives (none of these being mandatory), body modifications are not allowed
Accessories:
DKP is not a "Resto Cal" type of club, therefore emphasis should not be put on any certain type of accessory items. Be advised that the following accessories
are not welcome: roofracks, headlight eyebrows, louvered aluminum pieces, unnecessary guards and whitewall tires. No billet accessories.
Any new member must be accepted by at least 75% of the standing club members
Putting DKP stickers on a car does not entitle its owner to membership of the club.
today my question will be a little bit relevant : why that car was into dkp at the time , he don't respect some guidelines of the club
