Description from the seller
This Formula Vee comes from nostalgic times when Formula 1 cars on average did a lap at 136 km/h on the Nürburgring, and the entry class, Formula Vee, did it at 121 km/h. (Oral source Formula Vee enthusiast)
For the car here in this auction, there is a wonderful article from the time when its second owner first started racing with this specimen:
http://www.motorenpapst.de/ under the title "Rennauto zum Ersten" or "Das erste Mal V"
This specimen was produced by the firm "Fuchs Rennwagenbau". A strong kinship with Porsche is present, which makes this V a real conversation piece.
Technically fully checked and restored at M-Automotive Engineering in Belgium (BMW and Porsche specialist).
The car runs, brakes, and shifts as it should; Spartan and very fast, this small racer weighs only 378 kg.
The patina bears witness to many hours of pleasure on the track, passed through 3 previous owners. The first was allegedly a well-known German, but we could not verify this; the second owner told us this. We bought the car from the third owner and revived it.
The car is currently equipped with a 1300cc Type 1 engine with 40hp
We would certainly help buyers with transport.

Disclaimer
Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
