I believe that the first conversion of a V8 engine inside in an 1M was made in US and not long after the completion the car was crashed. It was a white one.

On iPhone at the moment so not easy to do a full search of the site, rob posted it I think

I would love to see it. I intend to put a Vorsteiner carbon roof, maybe a small and discreet CSL look alike bootlid and of course the whole engine-transmission conversion. No CSL bumbers and things like that.

One of the first conversion that a serious tuning house made. Amazing since today! Respect to the HARTGE people.
