One of the most respected builders of early Porsche replicas is Dorset-based Chesil, a company who have built a reputation for providing one of the best 356 re-creations on the market
Available as a complete factory build or as a home-build kit, they could be tailored to the customer's requirements using whatever size of VW engine that was available and a quality GRP body, meaning that, effectively, no two are the same
Registered as RFR 732H on 22/ 04/ 1970 and identified by VIN #11/ 02515334, this example is powered by an 1, 800cc air-cooled flat-four with twin carburettors, complemented by a chrome *** cover and stainless steel Chesil back box with chrome tailpipes
Finished in Silver with a Dark Green soft top, the specification includes 15-inch chrome wheels, Magnolia leather upholstery, adjustable seats, Sage carpets, a removable armrest and wind-up windows, combining classic Speedster styling with useful period-inspired equipment
Further mechanical specification includes front disc brakes, while the history file contains a selection of invoices documenting work and parts supplied over the years, with a recorded service carried out in November 2019 at 33, 536 miles
A charming and characterful 356 Speedster replica, offering open-air motoring, classic Porsche-inspired styling and an appealing combination of simplicity and usability, making it an attractive proposition for enthusiasts seeking an engaging summer sports car
