His mechanic is very good, for instance one of the few in France able to make a rocket with a car using K-Jetronic system. He built a famous Scirocco Grp1, really fast.

Were the genuine GA crank case made in cast iron or aluminium? Anyway, few suppliers nowadays for this kind of wonder.
Funny that when you look at the car on track the missing ‘S’ isn’t really noticeable!

Original GA blocks were iron, suggested to be specially selected, if not specially cast......
