Admitted, the styling isn't to my taste, but the workmanship is good.

Good find

If you are intent of a 16v, here are some further things to consider:
VW's 16v:  123hp (US), 139 hp (European), 196hp (racing European)
           I estimate, $4500 to make it all work.
Oettinger 16v:  On a 1600cc motor 135hp, 2liter 170hp, 220hp racing.
           I estimate 6500 to make it all work.
Drake 16v:  Ah, you didn't know drake made a 16v for the VW did you?
           170hp on a 1600cc motor, and no dyno figures for a streetable
           2liter motor.  But as you can see, the Drake is MUCH more
           powerful than Oettinger.  And, 290hp (racing 1900cc).
           I estimate, 7000 to make it all work.

The last two must be pretty damn rare though surely?
