Please help identify the manufacturer of this 356 replica in Australia

Hi All, I am looking to get as much info on this vehicle as possible I know it was originally built in WA in 1988, then went to Vic until 2003 and then to NSW until now and I want to bring it back to Vic. Now I want to put a soft top on it, but I don

There's not a lot to go on. Some interior photos would help alot. To my knowledge there are no manufacturers in WA. My guess us that this is an owner-built CMC. One tell is the hood handle. It's not from a Speedster, but a Cabrio.

The hood handle is from a B or C cabrio at that.

By WA I guess you mean "Western Australia" and not "Washington", so it is probably not a US manufacturer. On second thought, the different curves to the side of the front, as well as the filled-in horn grills definitely make it something we don't have here.

Strange PO never cut out the horn grills. Is that a "Classic Speedster" emblem or Porsche badge on the hood handle. Classic Speedster would identify badge as CMC - although don't believe wide bodies came with hood badge. Is engine grille one piece cast aluminum (a FF/CMC trademark)?

Thanks so much guys, I will post some more photos as soon as I get them and hopefully I will get to the bottom of it.

I can't thank you all enough. And yes, by WA i mean Western Australia and NSW I mean New South Wales and Vic, I mean Victoria. All states in Australia.

Hi Olly,
A fellow called John who runs the VW Centre (VW parts shop) in Perth was involved with the WA manufacture of Speedster replicas for a while in the past and he may be able to throw some light on the origins of your car.
I have a phone number for him and it is (08) 92422808.His email address is :vwcentre@hotmail.com
Good luck in your hunting !

Phillip B

Hi Phillip, that e-mail address for John didn't work over at VW centre Perth, do you perhaps have another one for him?
