1977 Volkswagen Scirocco by Tom Klein Gunnewiek
Tom Klein Gunnewiek's 1977 Volkswagen Scirocco, based in the Netherlands, is a meticulous build that showcases his dedication and attention to detail. Initially envisioned as a red 16vt project, it evolved into a silver masterpiece powered by a 16v engine with Jenvey individual throttle bodies, sourced from a well-regarded Golf MK1 setup and built by Van Kroenenburg. Gunnewiek's extensive modifications include a custom radiator, hidden wiring, and a bespoke pedal box. The car rides low on 17-inch wheels, with arches subtly modified for clearance while maintaining an original appearance. The exterior is refined with smoothed trim and rare bumper end caps. Inside, the Scirocco features a black skai® leather headliner, refined seats resembling Recaro/Porsche styles, and a CAE shifter that complements the vehicle's character.
