1974 Puma 1600 GTE
Discussion
Very rare 1974 Puma 1600 GTE, based on a shortened Karmann Ghia chassis and Beetle tech bits: 700 kgs and 90 brake makes it a flyer. I fitted but only just!

Wolbert Porsche workshop visit
The owner of this silver gem has a yellow one with work. It's going to be flaming orange and up to spec. He's carefully trying to make a business.

How good does this look? The sun even makes it more Brazilian.

Nose sits a bit high but for speed bumps this is ideal.

Interior gives proper 70s sports car feel. The drive is Beetle but way more refined than any buggy you ever drove.

Yup, it's 356 size so my 1.85 m just fits. A Miura is more cramped though...

About 90 brake from this peppy 1.6 litres Beetle engine. Some drop a Scooby in... Errrr, not with this set-up!
