    Just spotted this on the ‘bay. Never heard they were called “The Ascot.” Cornier than even the ads depicted at the time.

    Looks like it was babied. Pretty spirited bidding too. Wasn’t someone here looking for a front engine car with an automatic?

    A couple discrepancies:

    1) They are not built on MG frames.

    2) It’s VIN is the Chevette donor car.

    3) The bidding is probably “friends”  bidding it up to the reserve.

    It’s in Philly ed, go take a look

    Also notice

    “It was just gone over by European Auto Classics”

    Why would you need this “European” expertise on a GM drivetrain 🙂

    all good points/observations, Mark. He’s also got it listed as both an ’86 and an ’82. But whatever. Just so everyone knows, I’m no relation to the seller and no intention of bidding. someone here was looking for an automatic & thought I’d try to help.

    Don’t think I’ve ever seen a front engine kit with VW wheels before.

    The BCWs had ’em, apparently.

     I’ve seen several Chevette based BCWs with the VW wheels on the web and here on the forum,but have not seen one in person . I don’t know if they reworked the wheel center or redrilled the Chevette hubs.They may have used an adapter but it did not cause the wheel to extend out beyond the fender. Sweppes and Suntan Sailor’s BCWs both have these wheels on the forum in the photo gallery.If anyone knows how they did it ,please let us know.

     I see it sold for $7450. That’s encouraging!!!
