Re: NARP's a 356 A replicar

Greetings all:

Just came across this forum and recall having seen the NARP trailer at several autocrosses at El Toro.

So here is a question maybe not related to front engine porsches but I am interested in Porsche philes responses..........I have owned 5 P cars from a 73 CIS Targa to my current 2009 Twin Turbo. My Turbo is a beast and I really dont care to drive it as a daily driver. Several years ago, I saw a 1959 356 A and it reminded me of the fun of driving when my Navy buddy had one back in 72'. Back then they didnt cost quite as much as they do today. As they are out of my price range now, I began to research a replicar and thought this might be fun alternative. Looks like, feels like........so my question to the masses; do Porsche owners accept these replicars as Tribute cars or just junk knockoffs and cant be associated with them? After all, they are fathered by Ferdinand..........

What say you all?

We tend not to care whether they're real or just now so long as they are driven hard and enjoyed as cars not museum pieces.

By the way I very much doubt this is the same NARP you saw at El Toro, we are based in the UK and while there is a shopping mall in Birmingham (England) close to were our founding members live, called the Bull Ring, I guessing its never been called El sortija de Torro

either way welcome, hope you stick around, you'll notice that the forum background is the wsteering wheel from a 356

I love the 356 rep's. there were a couple from tghe company that make them at the classic car show at the NEC last year. for around £20,000. If i had the money spare i would snap one up. And any owner would be more than welcome here, No Porsche snobs on this forum.

Greetings to across the pond! The internet makes for a very small world!

To Mav666, you are right, I havent been out of California in 30 years. The El Toro I was referring to is a retired US Marine Air base where a portion of the airfield was converted to Autocross for various sports cars including the Porsche club of Orange County.

Thank you for the input.
