Recently, Sam and Susan’s build story was featured in the Sierra Vista Herald, an Arizona newspaper, discussing their experience building the Mk4 Roadster, taking it to car shows and cruise-ins, and driving it around town.

“It’s a lot of fun to drive,” Susan said. “We’re planning to enter parades and more cars shows and just cruise.”

Sam and Susan brought their Factory Five Mk4 to a local spring car show in Sierra Vista and won the “Engineering Excellence” award! The award is well deserved as Sam and Susan did a meticulous job on the build.

Congratulations Sam and Susan on the car show win and the newspaper write-up!
