Ingo ◊ 2013-06-03 22:52	Why are you sure about that? Is it proven?
Speedoo ◊ 2013-06-04 14:13	ingo wrote Why are you sure about that? Is it proven? Because this Speedster has all original parts, original wheels (not VW chrome wheels), original turn signals, original chrome parts, upholstery, windshield, top frame etc... The bumper and the body have the curves of the original Speedster. All Speedster replicas have the rear slightly wider than the original because the rear track of VW Beetle chassis is slightly wider than the Porsche... This Speedster was owned by Mariah Carey's father until his death. -- Last edit: 2013-06-04 14:14:54

At the 356 Speedster it's the same as with the Ford GT40 and the AC Cobra: if you see them, you generally think "annother repro-fake". Accepting it as an authentic car, only happens with having comprehensible proofs.
