This Chamonix Spyder 550S replica is a vibrant and stylish tribute to Porsche’s iconic 1950s race car, offered with a single owner from new. It is powered by a Subaru-derived 2.5-litre naturally-aspirated flat-four, producing around 121kW and driving the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. This example has been cherished by a single owner from new, and the odometer indicates 34,732 Kms, however this is not warranted. This Spyder 550S replica is finished in a bold shade of red over a red leather-trimmed interior, with a body-coloured dashboard, and white rear bulkhead trim, handbrake grip, gear knob, and steering wheel rim. It rides on a set of 15-inch Mangels steel wheels, shod in Toyo Proxes C100 tyres. Features include a twin-exit exhaust, a three-spoke steering wheel, dual headrests with roll bars, VDO gauges, and MTX Audio speakers. The car will be accompanied by the original owner’s handbook, the official logbook, two keys, and a removable roof and side windows. The red paintwork is reported to be in good overall condition given the car’s age, though the seller notes a few touch-ups around the car. There are also minor stone chips and scratches on the front nose cone, light scratches on the offside rear panel, a blemish on the nearside rear wheel arch, and some light oxidation on the door mirror housings and windscreen trim. Inside, the cabin is presented in generally good condition. There is some use-related creasing on the seats, wear on the driver’s seat bolster, light discolouration on the passenger seat base, pitting on the roll bars, peeling around the driver’s door handle, flaking paint on the handbrake grip and steering column stalks, and a few other minor blemishes and imperfections around the trim. The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults. The car’s last REGO test was conducted on 3 June 2022, and was recorded as a clean pass. This Spyder 550 replica’s most recent maintenance was carried out at an indicated 34,732 Kms, which consisted of new tyres being fitted, an engine oil, oil filter, and coolant change, and the replacement of the thermostat, radiator hoses, the battery, and cables. Prior to this, the car was serviced in June 2019 and June 2012. Other notable maintenance includes a previous respray. This Chamonix Spyder 550S replica is a bold tribute to Porsche’s beautiful and successful 1950s race car, offered with a single owner from new. Presented in smart overall condition, with a vibrant colour scheme, elegant styling, and a vocal Subaru flat-four, it would make a charming addition to any collection, and a wonderful companion for summer drives, fair-weather cruising, and car show visits alike.
