Any 356 folks out there?

Post by theranfree »

It looks like it has been a while since anyone posted. Are there any 356 folks out there? I’m just starting and would love to connect. In Durban, btw.

I’m sure that deep down, all of us are 356 folks, but pretty sure there aren’t more than 2 or 3 actual 356’s on the forum

Is yours an original or kit car.

Sure there is a number of kit cars around.

Know Wernher Hartzenberg has one and not sure if he is still on this forum but does https://www.aircooledwonders.com/

Randy, If I had a "real" 356 ,...I would'nt even talk to you guys!!🤣😂😜,.....I'll let my lawyer talk to you!!!!
Jokes aside,....don't know if there are any real 356's on the forum?

However,...boytjie(me son) has opa replica coupe that we are building at the moment,....had a speedster before,...once we had it the way we wanted it,...it was sold on to acquire a coupe!.........which will make his wife more willing to travel in it,.....due to being a coupe. The speedster did not go down well at all!!
