VW SP 2: A curiosity from Brazil.
Brazil had a VW Car Factory, making some models for their local market.
Here is a very alluring one, which I never saw before: The SP 2, which was in production in the mid 70's.

The engine is a modest 1, 7 boxer, delivering some modest 65 HP, offering some modest performances ( 165 Km/h / 0 to 100 in 17 secs ) in comparison to its body which suggests all the contrary, and the sound of the engine, deafening.
How cool is that! Now, finding one is almost impossible, as a bit more than 10, 000 were made, and almost none are driven on our european roads...
Best,
Nicolas

Attractive design!
It sure looks like a Brazilian version of the Scirocco.... I even liked the modern one which was made for a few years in Europe relatively recently....
Remember my friend who fixed your P1800 ?
When we came back from Holland ? He has one ... but then I think he has all special air-cooled VW's
I must have some pics on my old Mac ...
... that I took in the 90ies ... haven't seen the car since but knowing him he hasn't sold it .. unless it perished in the fire that destroyed a part of his collection a few years ago.
I had never seen this model before. Very interesting!
Could it be the love child of a Jensen Interceptor and a Corvair..?
