I like interior color (and looks comfy). Cool dash with glove box. Front looks bare without horn grills though.
Dash looks based (loosely) on a pre-A coupe/cabrio. Kind of an odd combination IMHO.
I like the interior color bumble bee lights, etc. ... All in all different and kind of cute. But it looks like it is built on an un-reinforced vw pan. Glove box door does not fit well. So that might be a hint as to quality of construction. And the engine , although pretty, has some weird plumbing and is missing bolts if you look at enlarged photo. Probably a Mexican example. Seller knows nothing.
In terror looks a bit like a Porsche Continental. The steering wheel is centered and not off to the side and the gas line in the front boot looks like it vents into the interior but it's hard to tell for certain. My front boot hinges come into he inside of the cab so I'm assuming that's where that gas line goes to. On the plus side the bumpers fit nice and close and that looks like a decent fuse block in the front boot as well.
Here's a Porsche Continental interior:

Front blinkers aren't positioned under the headlights, the dash is "unique", and the Porsche crest behind the drivers side front wheel well is not what you would expect to see. Kind of a collision of elements of a 55 and other stuff. I like the Belgian badge on the back, but I don't think it would have been "stock".
Not my cup of tea, but somebody will have fun with it, and not much else matters.
It was violated ...ugly dash, missing small chrome at door handles, motor bay rubber looks like it was cut and fit from an inner tube complete with spaghetti hoses, passenger wiper is ready to fly and the top is weird....I guess it will appeal to someone as ...." There's an arse for every seat "
They did a little video on the car too.
I like what BOBG said, " not my cup of tea, but someone will enjoy it..."
I started this post on the forum simply because it is unusual.
What Alan said X 10.
If you watch the video the guy says it drips some oil but does not have an oil leak. I love that. Then where does it come from. Kinda like all the ads I've been reviewing that says the car doesn't have any rust except for a few spots... When does no 'something' mean none?

He also says repeatedly that it has the period correct wheels but didn't the correct wheels have 10 slots not 8?
Two gauges to one side and one to the other looks weird.
No question, if authenticity is your criteria for acceptable, this ain't the ticket...... but how many of us have modified our cars, or ones we've sold to others, that didn't exactly match old Ferdinand's vision? That's part of the fun. Sometimes this sounds like the PCA forums.
I don't know Bob... There's modifications and then there's mutilations.
Not a fan at all...
Troy:
Where is the line between the two? (By the way, I don't like the thing either, but, after all, we all own bastardized versions of real Speedies anyway.)
I don't know, but I know it when I see it.
Troy,
Wasn't that what the Supreme Court said about the definition of pornography ?

Usually on the first date.
Yesterday:
This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing
Probably read everyone's comments here and is making a better ad. LOL
There was more than one error.......
That's from my home town. My uncle sent me the local link after I bought mine

A-freakin'-men.
I'd like to do another someday, just to stick a thumb in the eye of the "correct police". The thing I always wonder is: why is it OK to put a water-cooled mill in, but not keep the 4-lug wheels?
Roll 'em. Whatever you like: that's cool.
