Intermechanica Porsche speedster, a wonderful looking and driving car. This car has a 1776motor with dual solex carbs that runs like a top there are just over 5000 miles on the motor, the stock 1600 just did not have enough power so it was removed and is available and will come with the car. The car has a four speed gear box with a short shift throw. The gear box and clutch is in excellent working condition and the clutch has aprox 5000 miles on itas well. Intermecanica speedsters are not based on a VW bug pan but uses a custom tube chassis ,this makes these cars handle excellent and have a much better stance than the cars based on a VW pan car, there are no squeaks or rattles in the car it is very tight. It has Correct Porsche wheels and excellent rubber on all four corners. The car stops very well. The hand laid fiberglass is much thicker than other companies , this is noticed when you open the doors, hood and bonnet.the car has good paint with excellent shine and no damage with only some little pimples on the rear passenger quarter panel that will not even show up in photos, all porsche badging is present,a black soft top, side curtains, and a tonneua cover to cover the cabin when parked if the top is down or removed completely you can zip it up,to close the cabin. The top is not torn or stained but is difficult to put on when it is cold out so I leave it in the sun for a few hours to make it easier it might have shrunk a little over the years, I will include a tan complete top In excellent shape with the frame. You Will get two complete tops. The black one does work on the car, but I purchased a tan one also. The Interior is black , real recaro seats with thigh extension, these seats are a lot more comfortable than the fiberglass seats that most speedsters come with there is a small tear on the top of one of the seats, black carpets are not torn or stained. The lights, signals, horn and wipers work. A thick grip personal steering wheel has an excellent feel. Real Porsche gauges and interior badging Titled as a 2012 Special Construction and clean California title in hand Here is more about the company that built it /intermeccanica.com/
