Sam Dawson is a freelance motoring journalist who has written for various British titles including Classic Cars, Practical Classics, Classics Monthly and Classic & Sports Car. He is also the author of the book “GT – The world’s best GT cars 1953-1973″.

Sam has a weakness for cars and manufacturers with ‘personality’ and as such is drawn towards flaky, unreliable yet charismatic machines built by companies which change their ownership more often than their model lineup. As a result, he has a particular passion for the likes of Lotus and Alfa Romeo.

Sam’s book is available from Veloce Publishing.

Especially when the car is such an outrageously good looking Porsche Speedster. This car has just made it across the pond and is now up for sale.

 

 

Yes, sure it is a replica, and yes of course, those wheels might not be the number one choice for many people, but it is such a striking colour combo and the attention to detail is so out of this world, it is destined to be one of our favourite Speedster replicas for a long time to come.  It was made by vintagespeedsters.com.

 

 

The engine is a twin-turboed 2.2-liter block that is putting out about 280bhp. It certainly doesn’t look like most Porsche engine bays, but we, for one, definitely wouldn’t mind that.

 

 

The interior though is absolutely perfect. We wouldn’t change a single thing. The KISS marketing principle certainly found it’s way into this pretty cockpit. It is kept simple and as such looks spot on. The Nardi steering wheel just about gets away with it.

 

 

The car is for sale on the Die Deutschen Klassiker forum. The car was sold in the US for about US$35000 and the seller is willing to let it go for GBP18000.  More pics to drool over, here.

It has a very nice colour with matching bumpers and is fitted with chrome five-spoke wheels that suit the car very well. We’re not sure about the exact year of manufacturing as no exterior badges allow us to identify the car. Maybe someone can give us a hand here?

 

 

The car features a nice webasto sunroof. We’re not sure about the blacked out windows. The engine has been converted to run on LPG/gas. The exhaust is the perfect size for such a bulky car, so we definitely hope it’s not running a meagre 1600cc with a single Stromberg carb as was standard on these cars.

 

 

We like the leather sports seats and how everything inside the cabin has been kept in black. Our only concern is the steering wheel which seems pretty small and which we would replace. The car is for sale out of Antwerp, in Belgium for EUR5950.
