Selling my Porsche 356 replica Speedster built in 2011 on a reconditioned 1970 Beetle chassis.
Painted in Porsche Condor yellow.
Built carefully and with no expense spared over 3 years, to correct IVA test requirements (passed Aug 11) and registered on an age related 1970 plate. The quality speaks for itself and was presented with an award at Stoneleigh.
The chassis was stripped, shortened and prepped using chassis paint. The floor pan has been strengthened professionally by The Speedster Clinic. The chassis is then strengthened using a Pilgrim subchassis. Bodywork sealed. High quality undersealer applied.
All components on the car are new and in particular:
Rebuilt 1641cc air cooled engine using an 'AR' coded engine (stronger basis for increasing capacity), with twin port carbs, new coil and dizzy, fuel pump, custom made stainless steel twin exhaust by Longlife, engine bay chrome work.
New Freeway Flyer gearbox with long 4th for improved motorway cruising speeds - very comfortable at 70mph.
New shocks, brake calipers, steering damper, brake hubs, brake master cylinder, steering box, track rods, bushes, pipes, wiring etc.
HEATED windscreen.
Heated seats.
Custom made (by the speedster clinic) chestnut leather interior using high quality hide.
hidden stereo amp which runs mp3/usb/mobile phone.
A lot of rework was completed by The Speedster Clinic as some previous work that I was unhappy with needed completing. This included the interior being trimmed, screen, side windows and canvas roof, high quality german box weave carpet, sound insulating, electrical work, post IVA body changes and some repainting.
Xenon headlights
2 Speed wipers
Chrome wheels with new tyres
Full set of chrome/brightwork
Porsche badges from Roger Bray
Porsche hubs caps
Full set of vintage speedster dials
Petri Flat 4 steering wheel and hub from Sierra Madre (US).

If you are seriously interested in buying a head turning classic built to a high spec and high standard (with many areas reworked until right!); then please give me a call for further information.
The car is for sale at £18000, having cost me more than £25k to complete. Only completed 500 miles so still running in!
I've recently improved the wiring and had the rev counter rebuilt (with added surge protection), and replaced the battery following a faulty alternator regulator. I've also added battery points under the engine hood and a charging point.
