See what you think....

I've spent the last 2
two and a half days stripping it to a shell, finally got the last bit off at 6:30 this eve.

Shell's actually pretty solid in the main part, we'll see better once she's blasted back to bare metal!!

A rare car that's for sure, but not sure I like the glorified beetle running gear, deffo not my cup of tea!

Retropower Porsche 356

I thought it was a shrunk beetle. Nicer though - especially the cabriolet.

just a variation on hitlers peoples car.

pretty little thing none the less, and stunning in cabrio version but still really a VW rebadged.
