I am selling my 1999 reg'd Technics 550 Spyder. The kit was purchased in 1997 for my 50th birthday, and two careful years were spent building it. It passed the SVA test in November '99. It is properly registered and has an age related K suffix plate, (or p/plate by separate negotiation).

Twin 34 Webers. Rebuilt 1302S gearbox, hydraulic clutch. Fully adjustable suspension all round incl. s/absorbers.

Two pack original Porsche code silver paint finish, fully badged, upholstered in red, the seats covered by Corbeau.

Securon static seat belts help maintain the desired '50s feel I was looking for. Racing period mirrors. All new brake parts with dual circuit, discs front, drums rear, copper pipes, s/steel hoses, silicon fluid. Tonneau cover.

Approximately 120 Spyder kits have been produced by Martin and Walker since the late 80's, and all spare parts ( incl.full screen and weather equipment) are still available. SVA requirements mean that few are sold today, and this is one of only two aircooled SVA examples that I know of.

It runs well and will be sold taxed and tested, with fully photographed build record and documentation. It ideally should go to an enthusiast who will be able to use it.
