1949 Porsche Eigenbau Aluminum "Special"

Post by porschesauce »

Hi all,

I've not seen anything like this before interesting car on The Samba for sale ... for a price.

Made to order and certainly looks the part don't you think?

Isn't there a thread on here somewhere about this in its early build form? Very special...

See your point, very 'backyard'. I really like its silhouette compared to the big money bespoke one though. Looks like its been campaigned hard and I do appreciate a bit of rawness...
