The 356 on the left caught my eye, share some more, or is there a post for it?

I was wondering if anyone would notice. ;)
Its a little replica 356 with a 1600TP motor. Belongs to the Missus, I only get to use her when she misbehaves. Latest gremlin is a broken Clutch cable so now she's mine again for a while! :lol:

Corners like she's on rails, very direct steering. Puts a smile on the dial, every time! Fitted disc brakes to the front and it's made a world of difference. Somewhat bumpy over the speedhumps and always tempted to get a few more horses in the engine bay. :mrgreen:

I believe it's like driving a go cart, great power to weight ratio. But you need to ring it's neck with some revs to have proper
fun....The engine we built for
my bus is a 2L type 4
with twin 40 Webers should push 100 HP should be fun in a Speedster

Now you're talking!! At that power to weight she may just qualify to be discussed on a muscle car forum! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Generally I'm not big on air-cooled's, but that is one good looking little Speedster.

It has me looking at building a kit.
