1957 PORSCHE 356A SPEEDSTER FACTORY BUILT BY VINTAGE SPEEDSTER, ORIGINAL OWNER WITH ONLY 21K ORIGINAL MILES. This beautiful little 1957 Porsche 356A Speedster Replica is an absolute blast to drive. Factory built by Vintage Speedsters out of California (The Number One builder of Porsche Speedster Replicas.) They are a California company that has built 90% of all of the Porsche Speedster replicas on the market and their quality is TOP FLIGHT! Vintage Speedsters uses a custom built, jig welded 2”x4” 11 gauge steel frame. This rigid new structure retains the original VW pan designed by Dr. Ferdinand Porsche and integrates the largest frame possible. While the original Speedsters are certainly a rare breed, these Vintage Speedster replicas are rare in their own right with roughly only 3000 built. This one owner car was built in 2009. Even hard core Porsche enthusiasts would be easily fooled that this is not the real deal worth well over $100,000. These Vintage Speedster replicas are an amazing value and a blast to drive.  The body is in excellent condition and the paint still looks new. Body panel fit is fantastic and the doors on this car open and shut like a new Porsche. All of the chrome trim, badges, and glass look great. The black canvas convertible top is in great condition and is easy to put up or down as well as side windows that insert easily and a boot cover that give this car a very clean look when installed. The tan colored interior is a nice contrast to the black exterior and is in like new condition. All of the gauges, lights and turn signals are working correctly. A Beautiful wood steering wheel and a great sounding Sony Am/Fm/CD stereo with MP3/I-pod hook up, Kenwood amplifier and Alpine speakers add a nice touch to the interior. If needed this Speedster also has heat for those cool fall drives through the mountains. In the exceptionally clean engine compartment sits an upgraded 1915 cc, dual carb air cooled Volkswagen motor with 15 more horsepower than the stock 1600 cc motor and you can definitely feel it at the higher rpm range. The power is backed up by an upgraded 3:88 4-speed (Freeway Flyer.) transmission that shifts smoothly and takes this little roadster up to speed quickly and the front disc brakes will bring you back to a safe stop. Maintenance is affordable and any reputable auto repair shop should be able to handle the maintenance. The Undercarriage is clean and solid.

$1.4B hedge fund suit against Porsche dismissed

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

Investors have canvassed courts in Europe and the US to repeatedly sue Porsche over its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008 (see here, and here and here), and they have repeatedly failed to win any cases. You can add another big loss to the tally, with Bloomberg reporting that the Stuttgart Regional Court has dismissed a 1.4-billion euro ($1.95B US) lawsuit, the decision explained by the court's assertion that the investors would have lost on their short bets even if Porsche hadn't misled them.
Examining the hedge funds' motives for stock purchases and the bets that VW share prices would fall, judge Carola Wittig said that the funds didn't base their decisions on the key bits of "misinformation," and instead were participating simply in "highly speculative and naked short selling," only to get caught out.
With other cases still pending, the continued streak of victories bodes well for Porsche's courtroom fortunes, since judges will expect new information to consider overturning precedent. If there is any new info, it could come from the potential criminal cases still outstanding against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and CFO Holger Härter, who were both indicted on charges of market manipulation.

Harry Metcalfe shows off his GT2-inspired Porsche 993 Turbo

Sat, Nov 14 2015

There have been many versions of the Porsche 911, and the GT2 is among the greats. The hardcore variant of the iconic sports car packs the twin turbochargers from the 911 Turbo, but strips out the creature comforts and all-wheel drive. The 993 was the first generation to get the GT2 treatment, and that's just what Harry Metcalfe appears to have here. Only it isn't actually a GT2. This member of Harry's Garage is a 993 911 Turbo made to look like a GT2. That means it still has the all-wheel drive system from the Turbo model. And it also means that Harry didn't have to pay anywhere near as much as you would for a factory GT2, even on the used market. The founding editor of Evo traded in his 930 – the first 911 to go Turbo – and got this one instead.It may not be as original as his immaculate old 930, but as you can see from the video above, that doesn't make it any less of a thrill to drive. If anything, just the opposite. Related Video:

Good Samaritan pulls key from hit-and-run driver

Mon, Feb 15 2016

A man in England stopped a hit-and-run driver from fleeing the scene by grabbing her keys from the ignition. On February 13, Michael Scott witnessed a crash on a busy road in Birmingham, England according to the Telegraph. He watched as a Vauxhall Astra crashed into a Porsche right in front of his vehicle. At first, it seemed like the offending driver was going to stop, but she just kept going. Luckily, Scott had his dashboard camera rolling at the time. "I was shocked when the Astra driver didn't stop, and just carried on accelerating up the road," Scott told the Telegraph. "I thought the driver was trying to do a runner, so when the car in front of me moved off I managed to speed up and block the Astra in. Scott rushed ahead of traffic to cut off the Vauxhall in a turn lane a few hundred feet from where the crash originally occurred. The running driver then maneuvered around Scott, but was blocked by another car from making a clean getaway. Scott then nabbed the driver's keys to keep her from fleeing again. "I was in a rush so I couldn't stop, but I gave her keys to the Porsche driver and left," Scott told the Telegraph. "I contacted the police to let them know I had footage of the incident too." When police arrived they found both drivers were unhurt, though the Porsche will probably need some expensive repairs. The fleeing driver was charged with drinking and driving and is currently out on bail.
