I agree. Upon seeing the interior, while of course anything could be asked for, the "full leather" appearing on the armrest and seats doesn't match the non-leather dash. And the window switches aren't leather either!

Hmm. In order to make sure, can you give us a listing of every car to have gone through SonderWusch, with pictures of each car, and detail pictures of notable details?

Also very nice! However, you should wax your car. The beading is too fine.

Cool!

Did you know Mr. Rohrl had the factory convert a 356 B (or C, can't remember) into a Speedster? I think the factory made two, there was an article on Rohrl's in Excellence a bit back. Cool car. IIRC, a bunch of 'purists' looked down on the car because it was a faux. I went, wow I thought purists were silly, but to look down on a Werks driver's personal car? That's a whole nother level of, oh whatever.

That 356 next to your Speedster reminded me of that. Great combo. Amazing how great the 356 looks about fifty years later. Wow. Or maybe its the red car that's making it look great.....

Take care!

Everything you see in the pic is air or air/oil kewled. Required 993 content included.

Note the cardboard under each of the fine german beauties (italian 2 wheeler should have cardboard (it leaks), jap bike will NEVER leak). If you own air cooled, you know this is a requirement. Stangely the bus leaks a little less than the 993, but then I just rebuilt the bus engine.

I guess I could post a boat load of pics of the shop to get my post count higher?

What front bumper is that? Never seen it before. Looks like something Strosek would produce.

The PO put a Strosek/Anzianos kit on the car in 1997 so you would be correct. I know a lot of the p-car lovers are offended by these kits but I actually love the curves on my car. I agree some of the kits push it too far but this one works for me, which is all that really matters.

No offense meant here but it does strike me as having a very sad look to it!!

Hey as long as you love it that's all that matters.
