VW Okrasa Oettinger TSV 1300 - Vintage Speed

A 1963 VW Beetle, built for the Spa – Sofia – Liège rally with an Oettinger OKRASA TSV 1300 engine, a rally which it duly won.

The Oettinger engine with duel carburetors the same as used on an early Porsche 356 and special twin-port cylinder heads with Special manifolds and a chromemoly eight-dowelled counterweighted crankshaft. Through the crankshaft it was possible to give the engine a capacity of 1295 cc instead of the normal 1195cc. The specially designed cylinder heads had larger inlet valves 33mm and later on the 34bhp engines they where 34.5mm, with a compression ratio of 7.8;1. The carburetors where a pair 32 PBIC Solex with Knecht air filters fitted on the special designed manifolds. Cars fitted with the complete set had about 70 bhp and where running top speeds of 140 km/h or more.

This VW Käfer is an exact recreation of the original Cars. The base of the Car was an original Pearl white Beetle that was delivered through Scania Vabis in 1963. It is powered by an original OKRASA TSV1300/34 exactly as the Rallycars.
