This 356 Coupé recreation captures everything that made the original so special — lightweight, simple, and engaging — but with the added benefit of modern reliability and usability.
Under the rear lid sits a 2.5L naturally aspirated Subaru boxer engine, paired with a 4-speed transaxle gearbox. The result is a car that starts easily, runs very well, and delivers strong, usable performance with that unmistakable flat-four character.
The build has been done properly, with the right upgrades where it matters:
* Porsche disc brakes all round
* Carrera red leather interior — bold and beautifully finished
* Rockford Fosgate sound system
The car presents very well, with clean lines and the right stance. Everything works as it should, making this a proper get-in-and-go classic.
It sounds right.
It drives right.
And it gives you that classic Porsche feel without the complications.
A very well-sorted example that’s ready to be enjoyed.

★★★★★ - A True Sanctuary for Classic Car Enthusiasts
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Wat Swaai Jy and was absolutely blown away. This isn't just a dealership; it's a museum where every car tells a story. From impeccably restored muscle cars to perfectly preserved European grand tourers, their inventory is diverse and of the highest quality.
What truly sets them apart is the expertise and genuine passion of the staff, not only about the mechanics and history of the vehicles but also about the provenance and market value. There was zero pressure—just honest, excited discussion about classic cars.
If you're serious about finding a rare, high-quality classic, or just want to spend an afternoon admiring automotive history, Wat Swaai Jy is the definitive place to go. A truly world-class operation.
