Step back in time with this stunning 1973 Porsche 718 Spyder evocation, a meticulously crafted tribute to racing legend that offers the style of a multi-million-pound classic without the astronomical price tag. Built over three years by a skilled motor engineer, this ULEZ-compliant beauty began life as a VW Beetle 1300 chassis, transformed into a breathtaking replica of the iconic 718 RSK Spyder.
