This Porsche 356A Outlaw Coupe is based on a1973 VW chassis and registered as a historic vehicle, Road Tax or MOT is not required. However, it does have a current MOT.
It’s a unique example of its kind, using a Speedster Clinic body but modified to resemble an Emory Motorsports car plus the addition of a proper metal sunroof. A lot of original parts were used to build the car.
It is a well known car and has been at many shows over the last three years since the build was completed.
This is not a car for the faint hearted. It was built to be very analog and basic to drive. A road race car. Over 130hp in a 600 kilo car.
If you’re looking for comfort and driver aids then this is not for you.
