cl82 ◊ 2016-01-28 00:35	I may be wrong but my gut feeling says (decent) replica, not only because of the shape/colour of the steering wheel on the 5th thumb. -- Last edit: 2016-01-28 00:36:49
Sandie ◊ 2016-01-28 00:45	I'd go for replica too. Plate from a donor car/Beetle? There weren't really UK sales of Speedster Replicas until the early 80s. -- Last edit: 2016-01-28 00:50:26

The dash is not the normal one (should have a huge rev counter in the top center, for a start) and the badges are missing. But the one badge visible, the crest in front, is not the Porsche crest (similar from a distance, but flipped and altered)
