I don't know about that one being real. Do you think Der Prof would NOT put a front trunk?

IMO total bs.... metallic (!) green 1948?? There is no trace of porsche design in that (most likely british) whatsoever.

Prototypes usually don't have all of the features of the production units.

At first I said no way when I spotted the VW floorpan. I'm presently working on a Speedster in my garage and there are no similar parts beyond a few engine pieces (check my avatar). I read the long write-up and see where there is a reference to three cars that were commissioned for an auto show. This is probably one of them but not the prototype Porsche #1. It's another Mfrs show car using the Porsche drawings and motor on a VW frame. That said, there were very few differences between VW and 356 engines, transmissions and suspension pieces in the earlier days.
Now for any of you who desire a 356, stay away from the A and B models if you like how a car feels. The early cars handle like crap! Think 1950's Beetle with bad shocks. Be thankful for the 924 suspension.
