Marks last name is Reilly and he is Deans son in law. Mark didn't crasch the car, it was some other guy that borrowed it.

Excellent....

thanks guys.

However the Salt Lakes Flat Race car has now got a 3ltr APRM motor (Dean Brother Kens old company after DDS) This car is on its way to me now !

The original engine was a 2332 that was sold with a yellow 54 that i also purchased on the samba recently http://classicvw.blog.com

And the super Bug is actually a race chassis that dean bult for a karmann ghia body as he was expecting the rules to change, the super beetle body was only temperory and i have both the doors and tailgate from this car. If you look closely you will see the very visual roll cage, this is not wrong this has been made to suit the ghia body hence was visual on a beetle.
