"A ready-to-drive cup car in its striking green color."

Description

This VW 1303 S was delivered from VW in Södertälje, January 1973. These cars could be purchased by licensed drivers for participation in the VW Cup which started in 1973 during the oil crisis. It was a standard 1303 S with some additional equipment, and a few characteristics of this model of cup car were vents under the front bumper, two extra lights, and different shock absorbers. But the color was also special for the model, and in Sweden, the color was called "pea green". Reportedly, about 100 cars were imported to Sweden in this configuration. Now, the car has been renovated, and the owner has spared no expense in this regard. The engine is a renovated H 1500 with an alternator matched with a newly renovated gearbox, new clutch, and new discs. It has been welded and quite recently repainted, in 2023, and much of the floor pan is new. The entire brake system is new, and much of the front suspension as well. The bumpers are also new. The car is equipped with new Bilstein shock absorbers, and the right strut is new. Wheel alignment has been done, and a protocol is included. It also has chrome Bosch 180 extra lights. A main switch has been installed. The headliner is in a slightly tattered condition, but a new one is included separately. The seat upholstery is worn, and they are equipped with slipcovers. A nice VW 1303 S in a drivable condition.

Facts about the model

This is a special model, a so-called cup car that VAG Sweden imported and sold as a one-make class to active rally drivers during the year 1973. About a hundred cup cars were ordered ready by Volkswagen's Swedish importer with the characteristic pea green color. The cars were sold upon presentation of a racing license. The model featured, among other things, air intakes in the front. The co-driver's lamp on the passenger side was also standard on this model, as well as two extra lights at the front. The cars were delivered without rust protection, and few of these remain today given this and the cars' use in racing.
