My Speedster is just out of the paintshop. Here it is together with a couple of pictures of earlier steps along the journey! I'm hoping to have it on the road in Spring 2014. This is a Speedster Clinic replica.

And the complete build can be viewed here:

(I know it's a different forum, but then I hadn't heard of this forum yet!)
Some stats:
Engine: Riechert type 4 (horizontal cooling with original 901 fan)
capacity: 1.800cc (AT engine, with engine# AT0000778):
Specs: 316' Engle cam, Mahle cylinders and pistons, 45mm double Weber carburators, 45mm CSP Python exhaust.
The engine runs perfectly:
Weight of the car: 660 kg
More questions? I'll be happy to answer them...

Congrats on your build firstly, super cool car.
Who's body is that? Just out of interest. What tyres are you using front and back?

The body is a custom made one by VPS (Vaandrager Performance Speedsters), a small Dutch company dat doesn't exist anymore (see http://www.vaandrager-performance.nl), c.q. doesn't produce Speedster(body)s anymore...
He made a mold/cast of an original 57 Speedster and made appr. 20 bodies with that mold/cast. Mine is one of the last bodies he has made and he made -according to my wishes- some changes to the body and subframe (that's appr. 5 kg lighter than the regular subrame).
Furthermore parts of the body of my car are not Fiberglass but Kevlar reinforced.
I've used Vredestein 165/15 Classic Sprint on the front and the rear...
