Does anyone know this car? | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

GQ

I was in Solvang this weekend and I came across this car. Does anyone know what type of vw this is? The owner was not around to speak with. It looks so much like our speedsters. The front and rear are so cool and the doors open suicide. It has roll up windows and is simply nice.

Vince,

I know had to work that weekend, but will make the Winter run and the Warner Springs if all goes well with the dates. Plus my sister-in-law had this booked for about 3months. They have a timeshare and could only use it this last weekend.
