I found this photo of a magazine feature somewhere online some time ago. I was hoping one of you would have more information on the car or knows which magazine (Volksworld i think?) and when this was featured.

Thanks.

It's a cool car. Volksworld featured it. It had a number plate something like 11secvw but never ran that fast iirc.
Was for sale on oldbug.com ages ago

Seem to remember it was in an issue with a red '67 cab on 17" Porsche twists on the cover. Around 2004ish I think.

It was built by a guy named Roger, cannot seem to remember his last name @ the moment.  Mark H. had a huge hand in the car, very nice hi-end build & I think NOS was supposed to be part of the 11 sec potential. I think it sold for about 17k @ one of the local auctions around here. Pennies on the dollar for what it cost to build.    Bill
