I'm not sure whether they were available in Australia but the Covin was a pretty good UK kit on a Beetle pan.
This one is a Covin.
This is a real Porsche. Pretty close if you ask me!
Edit: Sorry, I just looked it up and they may have a purpose-built chassis, not a Beetle pan. They still use the Beetle transmission, engine and
suspension though, although they used Type 3 suspension instead in some models and of course all kinds of engine swaps are possible.

I remember a kit in the early 90s that was a 911 cabrio body that dropped straight ona bug floor pan
thinkk it may have been called a predator?
It looked pretty close to the real thing
Sorry to detract from the thread but I could just never quite fathom why someone would want a car that looks like a porsche but sounds, handles and
goes like a volkswagen, kind of an oxy moron.
Covins look the part atleast but those bloddy porreras which kept the beetle roofline with a porsche look nose and tail tacked on....

A 911 kit... why?
Dom, it would be cheaper, and more efficient to purchase a real 911!

There was one at Volkspower when i worked there, the kit was called a preditor, there were advertisments in mid to late 90s aussie vw mags for a
company who supplied them in Aus. would be cheaper to buy a real 911

you all are right it would be cheaper in the long run but i love both the 911 and bugs so i suppose i want best of both worlds.

Dom,
The white 1977 911, is not a factory convertiable.
Production of the 911 convertiable didn't commence until late 1982 - early 1983.

Check insurance out before you buy one. When I had a real one it was costing $2200 yr in the country. My replica is $400 yr.

They are very rare to find in Australia. I've seen a couple of complete ones around the $20k mark. The white one in the pics was advertised for $22k
when I bought it ( I paid $15k). The yellow one I bought as a shell for $5k and its probably cost $20k or more to build it.

Does anyopne know where I can get hold of a 356 Speedster kit car? I've looked and found some great manufacturers in NZ, but not much info on
Aus-based kit car companies.

Be careful with Speedster replicas on a shortened pan if unregistered. Very difficult to get them registered now.
And if you like 911 with simply mechanics (4 cyl, etc), buy a 912
Here is my RSK replica. Just came back from the paint shop
