Sadly it is AI, but I think it looks great! Just needs a grill under rear window, or discreet side scoops, for engine breathing, but other than that, looks fab.

Not bloody cheap is it! Our horse has been eating a lot this year due to lack of grass growth - and given that I'm guessing it will be even more expensive next year

Re: Your Porsche pic of the day......
Some engine work from Mr Champion!
"That's engine build complete! 2.5L MCE custom build special, and the engine that Porsche should have built in the early '70's instead of messing about with magnesium for a few years before realising it wasn't strong enough. Combining a strong alu case that won't pull head studs with a counterweighted 'S' crank, modified mahle cylinders with custom HC pistons, MCE gasflowed heads, MCE custom-grind cams (got fed up with the limitations of most of the available aftermarket cam profiles so have started grinding my own) and Weber 40IDS carburation (which are reasonable cost vs MFI and look and sound great). I'm predicting around 180-190hp for this beauty, feeling like an 'S+' engine with extra torque from more displacement, and going in a SWB chassis......it's going to be a lot of fun!"

Something about this little guy in the antique shop in Lyme Regis reminded me of my childhood.

Nice find. I guess Le Mans spec (with the lights on top)?

Re: Your Porsche pic of the day......
Anyone remember this car?
Now for sale at Export 56 and an ex Ddk car. Sadly never hear much from them now and it seems such a long time ago we discussed the pros and cons of him selling.

Mike
