Reply to "550 spyder body on vw frame"

Former Member

I was able to say hello to Graham McRae the Glen and speak with him briefly about his Spyder. He described his frame design as unique with relatively thin-wall tubing and mentioned utilizing the 914 transaxle. He does expect that the purchaser of the molds will begin to reproduce the car at some point.

Graham is obviously proud of his Spyder, and my impression is that he approached the business as a great way to keep his hand in engineering and design upon returning to NZ.

Just spending a few minutes chatting with Graham about his car was worth the five hour drive!
