Offered as part of an Estate matter - Rare Wren F2 racing car powered by a 1600cc VW engine, in running order!
KEY FACTS
Wren racing cars were a distinctive product of Australia’s single-seater racing scene, developed during the late 1970s and 1980s to compete in categories such as Formula 2, Formula Pacific and club-level open-wheel racing. Designed with a focus on simplicity, low weight and mechanical accessibility, Wren cars typically featured well-engineered tubular spaceframe chassis and utilised proven production based engines such as the reliable VW Golf 1600cc powerplants, making them both competitive and cost-effective to campaign. Built for weekend racers, Wren cars earned a reputation for strong handling, reliability and adaptability across multiple formulas, becoming a familiar sight at state and national race meetings. Today, surviving Wren race cars are sought after due to their simple and reliable engineering and they play important role in Australia’s historic open-wheel racing heritage.
This running example requires some minor work to get it back to 100% as it has sat for sometime. The Wren features a VW Golf 1600cc motor, Disc brakes all round, Trans axle rear, 13 inch three piece wheels, Oil cooler, Twin Weber carbs, RPM 4 point harness and much more.
This marks a unique opportunity to acquire a part of Australian Motorsport history, in running condition with some minor work needed, ideal for track days, competition or a private collection.
