I had an Intermeccanica 356 Convertible "D" Roadster replica for years. I recently sold it to my brother-in-law. Intermeccanica also makes a Speedster replica. They are, in my opinion, the best examples of any kind of replica out there, by far. The build quality is unbelievable. They are virtually indistinguishable from the real things unless you really know what to look for. And, they are faster, handle better, and much easier maintained than the originals. Even the various Porsche 356 Clubs are recognizing that the replicas have their place and are now being welcomed. I also built a Factory Five Cobra replica. Scary fast but definitely a kit car. I felt vulnerable in it like a motorcycle.
