Factory Mk 1 Oettinger 16 valve

I have a factory right hand drive Mk1 Oettinger 16 valve. Does anybody else know of any Mk1 Oettinger's in the UK?

 

I had one, but I gave my mum a loan of it and she forgot where she parked it! Shame really! [:^(]

post up some pics

 

Here is a photo of the engine bay. The car is stripped down at present in the garage as I am restoring it to new standard. The car has only covered 75000 miles with full VAG service history. It has a full Zender bodykit, Zender grill with the 4 x 7" lights (not shown in photo), Zender 3 piece spoiler and Zender Turbo alloys.

 

not mine but i did look at a white one years ago but the lump had been replaced with a 1600 8v [:^(]

 

Is that the France only one?

Fordham

 

They made 1250 1600cc versions for France called the 16s.This is number 1794 made for the German market it is a 1.8, they called this the 1800E/16. It was ordered May 1983 at the AutoHaus Heinen Volkswagon, Audi and Porsche dealership in Dussiedorf, in right hand drive and then imported to the UK in October 1983.

 

Ha you better look after that mate thats one rare sweet Mk1 thats just amazing well done for finding it!!!!!

 

sweet
has it got the original rims?

 

Yes it came with and has 7x15 ATS cups. But I managed to get a set of the 7x15 Zender Turbo's so I have the best of both worlds.

 

looks nice rich?how long before its on the road?you will have to bring it to the club meet (louis)

 

nice

 

Hi Louis. I cant wait to take it to a meeting. It might be some time [:^(] as it is going to a restoration specialist, so I'm saving like crazy at present and collecting all the new bits I need. The engine and chassis are like new but it has had no body attention in it's 21 year life.The lacquer is peeling off and it is corroded under the body kit. So I've got all new genuine VAG panels to go on her. . I'm trying to find out how many other Oettinger 16 valves there are in the UK. I know the odd one pops up in Germany.

 

There's loads of them. Over there between the rocking horse sh1t and the hen's teeth

Can't pretend I'm not jealous and keen to see more pics.......

 

Thank you for the kind comments, once I make some progress I will post more photo's.

 

Richy B - Your Mk1 sounds fantastic and by the looks of the pic, very rare in RHD. Well done for finding it... do you want to sell it?

 

Deffo keep hold of that one. Looking forward to some resto pics!!

 

Very nice mate - could use that engine to be put in mine.

I thought they came with 14 inch ATS cups, or is that only the french ones?

 

That's fantastic! I've never seen one in real life, keep us updated with plenty of pics!
