"Simplify, then add lightness."

Starting soon is our "Oval GT" project. Based on a 1954 Volkswagen Oval window Beetle, painstakingly restored and retaining all its original characteristics with no irreversible modifications made. The inspiration for this project comes from the Porsche 356A 1500 Carrera GT, from which all the styling queues are retained and faithfully reproduced to suit this project, enhanced with mechanical and period correct parts.
