Nice, its good to see a car of that vintage restored to its former glory.
its not entirely restored back to stock, its slightly modified with period parts, like a Big valve head, a 60's racing inlet, roller rockers and a slight overbore to the 850
its also been fitted with hi-lo's and alloy finned brake drums (non spacer type)

car look stunning,loving the colour anyone know what it is called ?
the paint is Enamel and the colour is Saxon Green, this was a factory colour in Australia in 62-63. it did take me about three months to get the right shade of Saxon green (in Enamel), as there were several manufacturers at the time. this was a "Berger" paint who were bought out by Standox as far as i can remember.
the car was painted Enamel and left to air dry, as the hardener changed the colour slightly.
Ah, such happy memories! Mine was a carefully chosen dark green 1963, with the new Porsche baulk-ring gearbox yet still with the old rubber cone suspension rather than the subsequent neck-breaking hydrospastic. Steered entirely with the right foot and an occasional flick of the wheel. Sliding windows and ginormous in-door storage pockets. Running on all three cylinders until I replaced that burned-out exhaust valve. Lovely restoration there. Enjoy!
