I believe it is John Leader's beautiful car. I have seen and driven this car and it is a beaut! Probably one of JPS's finest and most detailed.

John's car is, hands down, the best looking speedster I have ever seen.....Can't imagine what he could be replacing it with...
come to think of it, I believe I said that about his previous one...

I saw that too.
I noticed that the Title on John's car is a "Salvage" title.
I wonder if that has any bearing on a Replica as it would on a Regular car......

Buyer is from the Netherlands.
but it does bring up the point of a salvage title on a replica...
In the states of Pa and NJ you can utlize a salvage title at the time a replica is assembled (donor) as long as the vehicle goes through an exensive inspection session, the state DMV then assigns a new Vin number to the car.

Hi Speedster fans,
I bought the car on Ebay, and I can't tell how happy I am. I currently own a 2005 Vintage Carrera Speedster, the 58GT has everything I still wanted on my car and more..
The car coming to Europe and will be used on the Nurnburgring (300 km from where I life) in months.
We are now arranging transport.

Marcel': I'd love to ride along with you at the 'Ring'. I drove it many moons ago in a 1958 Austin Healey 100/6 and was it a blast. Nearly lost it in the Karosel and did spin out in the Swallow's Tail but my shorts came out clean in the laundry. I pegged the needle on the speedo coming down the straight away but was passed by a Red Porsche like I was standing still. If the sound of the leaves slapping the windscreen at 120 mph, sounding like Rocky Balboa hitting a side of beef, had suddenly stopped I probably would have opened the door and stepped out to why the Healey had stopped. What a beautiful area, the mountains, the people and the food (and beer) are hard to beat. I enjoyed every minute of it and wish I could do it again.

I don't know yet,
First I need to get John's car on Dutch License plates, that will take some time. I also have a 996 carrera 4 for daily driving and a Alfa Romeo 1300GT Bertone of 1972. I think the Alfa will go first now. ha ha ha.

Your getting a car that is one of the nicest I have seen, you won't be dissappointed.

Absolutely drop dead gorgeous. But you made on SERIOUS mistake. You should have flown out here, driven the car up/down highway 1 on the west coast - then had it shipped home.
What a trip that would have been! Enjoy this treasure.

You absolutely right,
I realy would have liked driving it down the coast.
I just can not find the time to come over. Hopefully I can get it to Europe before the end of the summer and enjoy it overhere.
