Richie King's 356s

Post by Jez 356 »

Dear all

I saw Richie King at Le Mans and had been reading about the two 356s that he has recently put together on the KK website.

The yellow Speedster and a possible Le Mans racer? Anyway did anyone get any pics of the finished articles either at Le Mans or recently. The KK webiste does not have as finished pictures and it would be good to see how they turned out.

Cheers

Regards Jeremy

The yellow Speedster was at hedingham last year all be it not completely finished. Have a look in the past events section and you'll see some pictures

I think the yellow car is a B roadster, quite an outlaw.

The Speedster project on our website is the car above, Karmann Konnection supplied the car and most of the parts to restore it.

The Yellow car is indeed a 'B' Roadster, and is the car that Ritchie will be going racing in!

That looks like a fine machine! 356s aren't my bag but that's lovely :)

I will enter CLM one day :)

The white racer was certainly nice, esp with the hard-top on.

I suspected that this was the one that Richie had on the KK website

Very tidy one I must say

So Le Mans must have been one of it's first events??

Very nice indeed
