Yes that's the ones I think that company are the agents for them .I did notice that the headlights are further down as was discussed in another thread .
Was just wondering if they where a good kit as opposed to some others that are around Vintage is another one as well as Chesil .I was wondering how much Chesil charge now for the new one with the composite chassis .I could be tempted into another one but I do fancy a 356 coupe but would have to be a turnkey fully finished .any suggestions.

Is that a replica coupe or Mc-koy??

I think when l spoke to Peter at the NEC he was suggesting it would be an extra £4k on-top of the Vw chassis turnkey. ??

Either .but I feel an original may be a bit much Gmund are selling a nice one at present Silver /Red interior at £35K but would have to sell the Boxster as no garage space left for 3 cars .I know M&W do one but would have to be turnkey and I think they only do kits.

West Coast Speedsters do a coupe turnkey it on their web site they are in Swansea, £35k have a look here tho for all that money I'd want a bit more than 90bhp!!

Surely for that kind of money you'd go for a real one?!

Something like this?

That's the one I was looking at ..Phoned today and deposit taken with loads of people on reserve list if the deal does not go through .
Spoke with them at some length, car as stated was originally SA car hence the extra vents on rear to cool it down due to hight temp (same problem we have over here )

It is not original matching numbers ( does it matter ) engine has been changed as has the colour originally White it is a honest car with some original parts rubbers etc not concourse but it never would be at this price .Have seen some rust buckets dearer than this . Will keep looking around in no great hurry to spend the kids inheritance money

Emailed them for details...Lovely day today so got the car out hood down and went for a 50 ml run fantastic still a bit cold not summer yet .Some times car takes a few good turns to start fettling accelerator ,found a great easy way to start it placed a hair dryer in the engine compartment leave for 5 mins and it starts first press of the button .I know a hair dryer but remember i drive a Boxster and it is standard kit for them
