After working on it for about 8 years I have finished my Speedster, and I thought I'd share it. It has a 1911cc Type 4 (914) engine, and 5-speed gearbox (also Porsche 914). It is very much inspired by Rod Emory’s creations..... but my main goal was to recreate an old racer, not so much recreate a true 356 replica.
I still have lots of plans to keep me busy during the coming years: changing to injection, make a new cooling shroud, fit a hardtop (I already have a Glasspar replica), design and build wishbone front suspension....
Anyway, here are some pictures

You gotta love the 5-speed transmission from a Porsche 914!
Yes. That looks a lot like one of Rod's builds - I know the one you mean.
Wow! There's an awful lot to like about that one.
nice job...dont they have the steering wheel on right in Netherlands.
Nicely Done! Congrats
nice looking car, gonna be a lot of fun with that running gear
40 hours to build a Speedster divided by 8 year = 5 hours per year?
Nicely done.
I echo what everybody else has said. You must be very pleased with the outcome on your car. Congratulations!!!!!
Great looking car, @Marcel! It should be loads of fun.
