I almost hesitate to post this on a Porsche forum but here is another option if I can get a 996 with a blown engine;

I can find a refurbished engine for around £1000 on ebay, or a whole car for less than £2000. Has anybody in the UK done this?
It's getting a bit more complicated than just putting a cage etc into a 996 though.
While not the same but theres subaru conversion kits for beetles that have been done in the uk.https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/wrx-po...

You'll need to check with the msa on engine size as in Europe they can run bigger engines than in uk
Yeah, there might be a 3 litre limit for most UK stuff? Which got me thinking, a 2.7 Boxster sounds like an interesting candidate, cheaper donor car too (£3k?). Hmmmm ![scratchchin](/inc/images/scratchchin.gif)
Plenty of cheap Boxster 2.5s and spares about and you could use the spec parts like cages etc that have been designed for the Boxster race series.
Maybe a dual use car for some club racing too, in something like CSCC Modern Classics, 750 Roadsports or the 360mrc endurance series?
