Say these on thesamba and just thought they were cool enough to share. Serious money, but nice eye candy.

It uses a Hewland tranny. It is based on a VW case with Hewland guts. Very nice tranny for the money.

I want a 550 so bad!
Why on earth would you put phone dials on one?

the wheels on the 550 look so wrong.

Aren't you counting the SCCA guys in the 914 Cup?

Anybody figure out what that bar is going right across the drivers forehead? Looks like the owner or builder didn't have the nuts to run without a high front hoop.

i kinda like the phones! better than some vw 5" wheels.

I dunno,

I sort of like the phone dials on that car. Gives it kind of a "modern-classic" look.
I'd love to build one of these like I would a hot 914. You know, 911 susp. & brakes,
A six with throttle body injection. Classic beauty with fierce acceleration.

Not sure what to say about that forehead bar in the racer though.

not really a forehead bar
