MODEL HISTORY
Designed by company employee Erwin Komenda and introduced in 1948 in Austria, the hugely significant Porsche 356 Series is regarded as the first ‘production’ Porsche with steel bodies built by The Reutter Company who later became the seat manufacturer Recaro. The 356 was built in four distinct series, the ‘pre A’ followed by the 356A, B and finally C. The ‘pre A’ vehicles are most notably distinguishable by the split and then later centre creased windscreens, whereas from 1955 with the 356A, the windscreens were changed for a curved one piece design. This remarkable 356B/S is the redesigned T6 model introduced in 1962 and is identifiable by the twin engine lid grilles and larger rear window.

Porsche 550 Spyder Replica

SORRY NOW SOLD – SIMILAR WANTED

A Porsche 550 Spyder Martin & Walker replica professionally built

HISTORY
The limited number Porsche 550 Spyder was introduced at the 1953 Paris Auto Show and was quickly recognised wherever it appeared due to outstanding race success.  It dominated the US and European championship circuit even against more powerful cars not even in its class and was the race choice of privateers earning a reputation as the Giant Killer.  The beauty of the 550 was that it could be driven to the track, raced and then driven home, which showed the flexibility of being both a road and track car.  Perhaps the most famous Porsche 550 built was James Dean’s “Little Bastard” which Dean fatally crashed into Donald Turnupseed’s 1950 Ford Custom on the 30th September 1955.  Original examples rarely appear on the market and always make headline prices when they do.

EQUIPMENT
GRP bodyshell, tubular steel chassis with steel rear bulkhead, De Dion axle located with four trailing arms and a Panhard rod, adjustable coilspring damper units, aluminium fuel tank, aluminium floor, perspex wind deflector, headrest fairing, Spyder and Porsche emblems, bonnet catches, wing mirror, wooden Nardi steering wheel, Willans seatbelts, passenger grab handle, passenger foot brace, push button start, rev counter and combined fuel/temperature gauge, dash mounted rear view mirror, kill switch, moulded door pockets, horn, tonneau cover.

Finished in vibrant period Porsche Blue there is absolutely no hiding in this incredible machine.  The sleek low slung appearance is gorgeous at any angle drawing much admiration from onlookers who marvel over the flowing yet purposeful lines.  The light weight bodyshell is free from stress fractures and has a deep gloss coat.  The gumballs positioned front and rear and on the doors just like the originals are blank.  The gold Porsche and Spyder lettering reveals the heritage and the stainless rear grilles and headrest faring leave no doubt of the fun lying ahead.  A must.

INTERIOR
Once in situ the Speedster style seats trimmed in black vinyl offer amazing support and looking over the wooden Nardi steering to the replica instrument set will start the pulse racing.  Securely fastened by the Willans racing seatbelts the driving position is near perfect and lack of creature comforts is soon forgotten once the starter button is pressed!

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Rear mounted and running a VW Type 4 engine displacing 2 litres built by Microgiant this power plant had been on the rolling road at BD Engineering and produces 110bhp and 122lbft of torque.  Sucking fuel through twin 40 Delorto carbs and barking through a custom stainless steel exhaust built by Aldens the sound is like no other!  A 4-speed rebuilt gearbox is controlled by an expensive American Janmar Shifter kit to utilise the power.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Authentic Porsche 550 reproduction steel wheels are shod in quality Yokohama A539 195/65 R15 tyres. Front discs and rear drums on a dual circuit with a master cylinder provide ample stopping power.
