Dreamshack was around for a while but I'm pretty sure they are no more. The guy that used to run it was Mark something?? They were known for building the cage to fit on top of the standard beetle chassis so it doesn't have to be shortened. However, I've never seen one fitted to a 1303.

I don't know this car but check the reg carefully. Still claims to be 1584cc online which is standard beetle. Maybe they got the v5 changed before putting in the bike engine and gearbox. Strictly speaking an IVA may be needed.

I'm sure someone more knowledgable will come along shortly.
