Happy Birthday Porsche

Ferdinand registered the company on April 25, 1931.

So, if this is the birthday of Porsche, what is the birthday of the first Porsche replica? (I have no idea, by the way.)

SHRSpeedster, Simon

Came across this piece from the Intermeccanica website, under company history... looks like the first Speedster replica would have been around 1975,76...

This disaster set the company on a new path and the family moved to California in 1975. There was a used sports car dealership Frank drove by near San Diego where beautiful old Porsche 356 Speedsters were for sale, filling his mind with possibilities. The Speedster replicas soon took over as the keynote car for Intermeccanica. A Speedster replica was developed into a prototype, resulting in a partnership between Frank Reisner and Tony Baumgartner to build Speedsters in California.
