1989 Porsche 550 replica For Sale

For sale my beloved Banham 550.
REDUCED from £13k to SELL!!!!!

By the time James Dean fatally smashed his beloved ‘Little Bastard’ into Donald Turnupseed’s 1950 Ford Custom at California's Cholame Junction on Highway 41 on 30th September 1955, the Porsche 550 Spyder was already a legend in its own right.

Winning its very first race at the Nurburgring in May 1953, the 550 went on become a legendary giant slayer, defeating larger and far more powerful cars in race after race from the Targa Florio and the Carrera Panamericana to Sebring and Le Mans. The Stuttgart firm's first bespoke racing car, its iconic status was cemented by the fact that just 90 were built between 1953 and 1956.

This isn't one of them, However, it is a tidy and well executed copy of the original Spyder and is based on classic rally-winning Skoda chassis and running gear.

The all-aluminium 1. 3litre 8-port pushrod engine even puts out 86bhp, which has been balanced, skimmed and with a high lift cam and twin 40 webber carbs, makes it a very fun revvy engine. The car is very light so has a good power to weight ratio

The donor car was a 1989 Skoda Rapid. It has 4 pot caliper brakes and it runs on unleaded fuel and It is fitted with fabricated inlet and exhaust manifolds connected to a new exhaust system, while the engine is connected to the original five-speed transaxle with centre shift.
The chassis is a semi monocoque arrangement, It uses all of the original donor vehicle running gear, including dual circuit servo assisted front disc/ rear drum brakes with wishbone front suspension, front anti roll bar and rear trailing radius arm suspension

This is a very fun car to drive and turns heads everywhere it goes.

Selling due to move overseas, Car now back in dry storage ready to driven home

In the 1960’s Porsche had a dilemma. After the popular 356 had reached end of production it became apparent that the sole car in Porsche’s line up was the then-new 911. The one-model line up wasn’t the issue; it was the fact that the 911 cost considerably more than the 356 did and Porsche were concerned they could ...
