AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This Formula Vee comes from nostalgic times when Formula 1 cars on average completed a lap of the Nürburgring at 136 km/h, and the entry class, the Formula Vee, did this at 121 km/h. (Oral source from a Formula Vee enthusiast)
About the car here in this auction, there is a beautiful article found from when its 2nd owner first started racing with this example:
http://www.motorenpapst.de/ under the title "Rennauto zum Ersten" or "Das erste Mal V"
This example was produced by the firm "Fuchs Rennwagenbau"
A strong affinity with Porsche is present, which makes this V a real conversation piece.
Technically fully inspected 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, lightweight racer weighing only 378 kg.
The patina bears witness to many hours of enjoyment on the track, this due to 3 previous owners. The first was allegedly a well-known German, however we could not verify this, but the second owner told us so. We bought the car from the third owner and brought it back to life.
The car is currently equipped with a 1300cc Type 1 engine with 40 hp
We certainly want to help buyers with transport.

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.
