RSK 550 Replicas
Does anyone know if someone is selling one? How much do they go for and who makes them in Oz?
Cheers
Raf

if you can't succeed, you might be able to take a mold off someone's spyder and then modify it to be an RSK. could be hard to get registered though.

What do they look like? I can't say I have ever heard of a RSK 550 before.

They are being imported into Oz from Brazil by Ken Johnsen in Perth WA. His number is 0413 703 003.
I believe that there are two versions available. Both are mid engined.
One with stock Beetle suspension and an aircooled engine and the other with a Subaru engine and gearbox with a De Dion rear suspension.
He brings it to the WA DoVW and it's the "belle of the ball".
