I think the market for cars like that has effectively disappeared - companies like Vicarage were 're-engineering' Mk II's at huge expense back in the late '80's/early '90's but even then the number of potential customers was relatively small.

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day

The simple things you see are all complicated
