My Story

I started getting into 1200s in 2002 when looking for a costs effective and fun circuit car to build up. I fell on a 1200 GX South African import by chance (without engine) and started learning about these cars from there. Before too long I had a further 3 1200 Coupes and a B310 Wagon (as a donor A15).


Sadly some vandals destroyed all of my 1200s a year later…except for one. The blue one survived the storm. It took me a while to get back into it, and build up my tools again as they were all stolen and not covered by insurance…..anyway to cut a long story short.


I built up an A14 1200 Coupe, and now am working on another 1200 Coupe which will receive a CA18DET.
